PREFACE. 


In issuing a publication, a writer must consult the wants 
of the book-buying public, as much as the state of the Art on 
which he writes. No author has a right to publish a book 
that he in his enthusiasm may think is in advance of the age, 
and then complain if he is not patronized. If a writer chooses 
to publish on any subject, he does so at his own risk, and by 
the decision of the public he must abide. I never had 
much respect for those beseeching, craving-your-attention 
sort of scribblers, who state very blandly in their Prefaces, 
that they have spent so much time, and so much money, in 
writing a book, all for the entertainment of the dear public , 
and consequently they consider that public under obliga- 
tions to patronize them. Hook-making is a kind of mer- 
cantile transaction. If a work has merit, the public will 
most undoubtedly find it out, and buy it, because they be- 
lieve it to be worth the money it costs. If a publication 
fail of success, then it is, to a great extent, destitute of 
merit, or the author has not consulted the wants of the pub- 
lic. In either case he has no right to complain of neglect. 
This appears to be an author’s position before the public. 

This work is on the subject of Mnemotechny, or the Art 
of aiding and improving the Memory. If the book is un- 
worthy of attention, it is owing to one of the following rea- 
sons, viz. : the subject is not worthy of a publication, or I 
have not done the subject justice. There is considerable 
prejudice against what is termed “Artificial Memory.” 
Writers and critics seem to think that Mnemotechnic authors 


6 


PREFACE. 


wish to make an Artificial Memory , independent of the natu- 
ral memory. The idea seems to me most preposterous. 
My aim has been to aid and assist the mind in acquiring 
knowledge, and to improve and strengthen the natural mem- 
ory. Mnemotechny, rightly considered, comprises*all those 
aids to the natural mind that go by the name of association , 
combination and comparison . When a person wishes to re- 
member a name that is difficult, to retain in the mind, he 
naturally seeks some fanciful association or other, perhaps 
compares the name to something that sounds like it, and 
thus will recall it when required. This is Mnemotechny ; 
though it is only the commencement of the beginning. Let 
us draw a comparison. We meet two persons, one who un- 
derstands Mnemotechny, as it is treated in the following 
pages, and the other unacquainted with the Art. We give 
the latter a hundred names of persons, places or things, and 
request him to commit them to memory in the order they 
are written. Or we give him as many Astronomical facts, 
Latitudes and Longitudes of places, or Events from History, 
with their dates. He sets himself to work, and by several 
hours’ hard labor he conquers the task, and a task it has 
been to him. The former takes the same lesson, and in one 
fifth part of the time , to say the least, he fixes it permanently 
in his mind. Is not this of some utility ? Is it not more? 
Is it not a pleasure? Some writer — C. C. Colton, I be- 
lieve — says, “he who shortens the road to knowledge, 
lengthens life.” He certainly lengthens our enjoyment of 
it, which amounts to the same thing. Now, the object of 
Education is two-fold. The mind must be disciplined so 
that it can originate, create, and act according to circum- 
stances; and, a certain amount of knowledge must be laid 
up ; the Memory must be stored with the treasures of His-

tory, of Science and Literature, as a material for thought 
and mental action. I am not such an enthusiast on the sub- 
ject of Mnemotechny, as to believe that every Iking in edu- 
cation depends on the Memory. A person possessing a 
good memory alone, can not be well educated. On the 
ether hand, unless the Memory is disciplined, and fed with 
knowledge, no person can be educated at all. 

The ground that I have taken in this publication, is, in 
the main, original. The rules and formulas are all origi- 
nal, though the figure-alphabet is the same as that used by 
some other writers. 

Many seem to think that Mnemotechny is only applicable 
to Dates of History. It might as well be said that mathe- 
matics is only useful in computing the interest of money. 
Mnemotechny is a great help in Historical studies. It is 
certainly just as applicable to a large number of other sub- 
jects. It is useful, more or less, in retaining the prominent 
ideas in reading, and in committing to memory, Prose, Po- 
etry and Languages, though these are not the most promi- 
nent fields of Mnemotechny. 

The following pages have been compiled and written, to 
assist those who are “ seekers after knowledge.” One large 
edition has been sold, and the demand is constantly increas- 
ing. The additions and improvements in the present edition, 
have been so material as to make it appear like a different 
work, and the publication is made under the confident ex- 
pectation that it will meet the approbation of the candid and 
judicious. 

New York, January 8. 1848. 


TO TEACHERS, PROFESSORS, 

AND 

INSTRUCTORS OF YOUTH. 


This work is commended to your kind attention. Mnemo- 
techny is no longer an experiment. It has taken a stand among 
the Arts and Sciences. The first edition of this book has been 
successfully introduced, and used as a text-book, in a large num- 
ber of Seminaries of learning. It has been seen that those 
Professors and Teachers who have introduced Mnemotechny as 
an aid to the scholar in different branches of study, have been 
most successful in cultivating the youthful mind. A large num- 
ber of subjects that are taught to the young, can be learned in 
one fourth the time by Mnemotechny, that they can by the 
usual methods of study. At examinations and exhibitions in 
schools, parents and guardians readily see the advantages that 
youth derive from the study of this Art. It makes the student 
a more ready and correct thinker, and calls his attention to sub- 
jects that he would not. otherwise learn. It relieves the Instruct- 
or of a large amount of labor, in endeavoring to instill into the 
mind of the scholar some of the most difficult branches taught in 
our Institutions of learning, and gives an agreeable variety to the 
daily scholastic exercises. 

Teachers, without the aid of a course of lectures on the subject, 
can readily qualify themselves for instructing scholars in Mnemo- 
techny, by an examination of the following pages. By putting 
the volume into the hands of scholars as a text-book, and re- 
quiring them to get a lesson in it daily, it will be learned through 
in a single session, and qualify them for applying the Art to many 
subjects not found here. The Instructor will thus become per- 
fectly familiar with the Art without being obliged to devote a day's 
study to the subject. The first tables in the book will be found 
the easiest to learn at the commencement of the study, though it 
is expected that Teachers will consult their own convenience in 
having the subjects learned in the order they are laid down, or 
not. The Sentiments of Flowers will perhaps be learned by the 
scholar more as an amusement during leisure hours, than as 
regular exercises in school. 8

MNEMOTECHNY. 


The first lesson to be learned, is the Alphabet. We 
have letters and words stand for figures. Each letter 
represents a figure, except A, E, I, O, U, W, H, and Y. 
Those letters never stand for figures. In the old Roman 
style of Notation, frequently used in numbering the chap- 
ters of books, the letter I. stands for 1, V. for 5, &c. ; 
but we have T stand for 1, and L for 5, and use the 
V to represent 8. We have them represented in entire 
words, or in separate letters. The word tih represents 15, 
because the t stands for 1, and the l for 5, the vowels i and 
e being omitted. The vowels never stand for figures. The 
letter d represents figure 1, as well as the t , because it 
sounds nearly like t. The letter n stands for 2. The 
word tin represents 12, because t stands for 1, and n for 2. 
The word din represents 12, also, as d represents 1 the same 
as t. The word more stands for 34, the letter m represent- 
ing figure 3, and the r standing for 4. The word vile 
represents 85, the v standing for 8, and the l for 5. The 
word file stands for 85, also; the letter f representing 8, as 
well as the v. The student must now learn what each 
letter stands for, throughout the Alphabet, by carefully 
studying the next two pages. All the letters that represent 
figures, except the letter X, are printed in capitals at the top 
of page 12, with the figures directly under them, and the 
instructions below and on the following page. The student 
will now read this page over carefully, twice more t and then 

attend to the instructions on pages 12 and 13.

The letters that have similar sounds, represent the same 
figure. The vowel e is placed after each consonant to give 
uniformity of pronunciation. The letters are easily learned 
by the

The student will observe, by a careful examination of 
page 12, what each letter represents. By an hour’s study 
of that page, it will be well learned, so that when a letter 
is mentioned, the figure that it stands for, can be given 
readily. The letter X will now be explained. X represents 
70. It stands for two figures, because it has two sounds, or 
articulations. X sounds like the two letters, k and s ; the 
word tax being pronounced as if written taks. Now if x 
sounds like the two letters k and s, it must represent 70, for 
k stands for 7, and s for 0. When we change words to 
figures, or give the figures that words represent, we call it 
translation. A fluency of translation will be acquired by 
practice. After the Alphabet is committed to memory, the 
next thing to be learned is articulation. To articulate a 
word, we pronounce each one of the consonants with an e 
after it, always omitting h , w, and y, and all the silent letters. 
The word Beat is articulated by saying be, te. Now we can 
easily translate the word, or tell the figures that it represents, 
by recollecting that be stands for 9, and te for 1 ; showing 
Beat. , as be, te, 91. We articulate Boat in the same way ; 
be, te, and translate it to 91. Fire is fe, re, 84. A good 
way to practice in articulation and translation, is to take 
examples like those below, and on the following pages, and 
hold the hand, or a piece of paper, on the articulations and the 
figures ; then, by looking at the word, pronounce the articu- 
lations and give the figures, and then remove the hand and 
see if you are right. In this way, try the following words : 

Peel, pe, le, 95. Chin, die, ne, 62. Seem, se, me, 03. 
Road, re, de, 41. Mate, me, te, 31. Bake, be, ke, 97. 

Mace, me, se, 30. Gin, je, ne, 62. Oaks, ke, se, 70. 

Cape, ke, pe, 79. Geer, ghe, re, 74. Wax, ke, se, 70. 

After translating the above words, and this page has been 
read, at least three times, the learner will turn the leaf and 
commit the rules to memory on page 14, and follow th$ 
instructions on that and the following pages.

RULES. 

Rule 1 . Words should be articulated and 
translated according to the pronunciation, with- 
out regard to the spelling, omitting all silent 
letters. 

Rule 2. All short unimportant words, like 
articles, prepositions and conjunctions, that are 
printed in italic , must be omitted. 

Rule 3. N must be omitted in syllables in 
ng , and s in the possessive case of nouns.

When the Alphabet has been learned, and the above rules 
committed to memory, the learner should practice on the 
above examples, and the two following pages, until the 
number of any word can be given readily, after the word 
has been mentioned. The art of translating words in Mne- 
rnotechny, is, to articulate them before they are translated, 
and always articulate them as they are pronounced. After 
some practice on the preceding examples, and the two fol- 
lowing pages, the learner will find further instructions on 
page 17.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR 

LEARNING CHRONOLOGY. 

All facts expressed in figures are difficult to remember. 
In recollecting statistics by Mnemotechnic rules, we do not 
attempt to remember the figures, but we change them to 
words, and then recollect the words. Our first examples 
are in Chronological Events. On finding an Event with its 
Date, that we wish to Mnemonize, or retain in the mind by 
Mnemotechny.; we take the “ Mnemotechnic Dictionary,” 
turn to the number that represents the date, and from the 
words that stand for the number, we select one that has the 
most intimate connection with the Event itself, and connect 
it with the Event, by a Sentence or Formula, and by look- 
ing over the Formula carefully, we remember the key- 
word, or, as we call it, the “ Mnemotechnic Phrase” and 
that by translation will give us the Date. Suppose the 
Event to be 

London founded by the Romans , . . . a. d. 49. 

The word Europe standing for 49, we make this Formula : 

4 9 London founded by the Romans, is now the 

re, pe. largest city in Europe. 

The Mnemotechnic phrase Europe, is easily recollected 
in connection with the foundation of London, and stands for 
49, the correct date. 

We divide Chronology into three great periods; “An- 
cient.,” “Middle Age,” and “Modern” We have Ancient 
Chronology comprise the period from the Creation to the 
birth of Christ ; Middle Age Chronology extends from the 
Christian Era to the year 1000 ; and Modern Chronology 
extends from the year 1000 to the present time. It may 
sometimes be difficult for the learner to tell whether an event 
took place before or after the Christian Era, if it was within 
a few years of that period. To prevent mistakes, the form- 
ulas have been constructed in a manner that will show 
2 * 


18 


MNEMOTECHNY, OH 


whether an event took place before or after Christ, provided 
it was within 100 years of that period. All those events 
that took place before the Christian Era, and within 100 
years of that period, have formulas with zero phrases , or 
phrases that stand for a zero or cipher first, and the remain- 
ing articulations stand for the correct date. All events that 
took place after the Christian Era, and within 100 years of 
that period, never have phrases that represent a cipher first. 
Song stands for the year that u Dionysius of Halicarnassus 
completed his history ,” and as Song stands for 07, the ci- 
pher before the 7 shows the event to have been before the 
Christian Era. 

The learner will remember that this rule only applies to 
dates represented by one or two figures only. When Events 
transpired more than 100 years either before or after Christ, 
the formulas are no guide io the period, and it must be left 
to the judgment of the learner. 

On the opposite page is a table of Events. In order to 
tell the dates from memory, the learner must commit, the 
formulas on the two following pages. The phrases in An- 
tique letter at the close of each formula, translate to the 
date of the Event that is mentioned. Without spending 
much time in practicing on the words in the preceding 
pages, if learners will commit to memory a few pages of 
formulas every day, and recite them by giving the dates 
aloud by translating the Phrases, in the course of a few 
weeks, they will commit to memory all the tables in the 
volume, and amass an amount of Historical, Biographical, 
Literary and Scientific information, that very few persons 
learn in the course of their lives. It will be seen by prac- 
tice, that the formulas for a page of dates can be committed 
to memory in less than one fourth the time that the dates 
themselves can, and be retained infinitely longer. Some 
practice in translation, will enable the learner to give a date 
as readily by translating the phrase, as if the date itself was 
remembered.

Instructions. 

In the Tables of Modern Chronology, including Euro- 
pean and American History, Remarkable Battles, Sover- 
eigns of England and France, Treaties of Peace, Distin- 
guished Men of Modern Times, and all events transpiring 
since the year 1200, we find it convenient in many cases to 
have the formula represent the last three figures only, and 
complete the date by prefixing a figure 1. 

Example. 

17 10 St. Paul’s Church in London was built, 

ghe, te, se , and surrounded by Gates. 

The Mnemotechnic Phrase, Gates , represents 710, and, 
by prefixing the figure 1, or adding 1000 years, we make 
the correct date. We translate the phrase by saying, ghe , 
seven teen hundred, and te, se, ten. After learning the dif- 
ferent Tables, the student will very readily tell whether 
events belong to Ancient, Middle Age, or Modern Chronol- 
ogy. In Ancient Chronology, whenever an event trans- 
pired more than 1000 years before the Christian Era, the 
figure 1, the first figure of the date, is always represented 
in the formula. In the Middle Ages, extending from the 
Christian Era to the year 1000, there are never more than 
three figures ; consequently the figure 1 must not be pre- 
fixed to any events but Modern ones. All of the Modern 
dates between 1000 and 1200 are represented in full by the 
formulas, so that we can establish this rule : 

If the first articulation in the formulas for 
Modern Events does not represent a figure 1, 
then that figure must be prefixed to the trans- 
lation, to complete the date. 

We carry this rule still further, in some subjects con- 
nected with American History, as in the American Battles, 
pages 122-4, the Presidents of the United States, page 


ART OF MEMORY. 


51 


151, and the periods of the Settlement and Admission of 
he States, pages 152-3. In these Tables we have the 
formulas represent only the last two figures o-f the year, 
and we supply the figure 1, for the thousand, and the 
figure 6, 7, or 8, for the hundred. The most of the events 
in these Tables were between 1700 and 1800, or after the 
year 1800. This rule enables us to make shorter formulas, 
which are easier to learn than long ones. 

Throughout this work, there are quite a number of 
proper names of persons and places, that the learner will 
find difficult to pronounce. All of these have been ar- 
ranged in alphabetical order, and inserted in a “Pronounc- 
ing Index,” beginning on page 251, with the correct pro- 
nunciatibn in the second column, parallel with the original 
name. These pronunciations are printed in a new alpha- 
bet, which has a letter for every sound. The alphabet will 
be seen on page 249, and the Instructions on that and the 
two preceding pages. By a little examination of the let- 
ters in the Alphabet, and some practice on the piece of com- 
position printed in the new style, on page 250, the correct 
sound of every letter will be readily seen. After the 
Alphabet has been learned, the student should read over the 
names in the Pronouncing Index, a few times, aloud, giving 
their correct pronunciation according to the spelling in the 
second column, to get in the habit of pronouncing them 
correctly. Then, whenever a name is seen in any part of 
the book that cannot be readily pronounced, the Index 
should be referred to for the correct pronunciation. This 
Pronouncing Index will be of considerable use to teachers ; 
as Classical Dictionaries and Pronouncing Gazetteers are 
not always at hand, from which to obtain the pronunciation 
of proper names. 

We are under obligations to Charles Anthon, LL. D., 
Professor of Ancient Languages in Columbia College, New 
York, for valuable aid and information respecting the cor- 
rect pronunciation of many of the Classical names.

Instructions. 

The learner has now come to a new principle in Mnemo- 
technic Science. It is that of rhymes, or Homophonic Anal- 
ogies.* Most learners on looking at the first application of 
this principle, are prepossessed against it. * Some well-in- 
formed persons have at once condemned the whole princi- 
ple. Let them not be too hasty to reject a principle sanc- 
tioned by Feinaigle, Aime Paris and Gouraud. At least, 
give it an examination before condemning it. The circum- 
stances under which we use Homophonic Analogies or 
rhymes, are numerous. We use them in all cases of Sta- 
tistics connected with proper Names or Scientific terms, and 
also in Definitions learned by Mnemotechny, like the Senti- 
ments of Flowers, which will be explained in connection 
with that subject. The varieties of Statistical Science 
where we use the principle, are, Dates of Battles, Eras of 
Distinguished Men, Tables of Sovereigns or Presidents; 
Latitudes and Longitudes of places, lengths of Rivers, heights 
of Mountains, &c., in Geography ; Specific Gravities, Chem- 
ical Equivalents, &c., in Chemistry ; Distances, Time, &c., 
in Astronomy ; and all other cases where figures are to be 
remembered in connection with proper names of persons or 
places, or technical terms in any of the Sciences. It is that 
natural or easily acquired method of associating difficult and 
unknown words or names with terms that are more familiar 
to us. 

Examples. 

Battle of Platea, . . . . . b. c. 479 

Battle of Dettingen, A. D. 1743 


* Homophonic is derived from the two Greek words bfios like, and 
(paw sound , — Hence Homophonic — like sounding. A Homophonic 
Analogy — a like sounding phrase.

Formulas. 

A Plate , - - - will not hold as much as 

Platea. A War-cup. 

Dirty Gin , ... is about as good drink, as 

Dettingen. Thick Rum 

The translations of the phrases “ War-cup” and “ Thick 
Rum” give the "dates. “But why” asks the learner, “can 
not a formula be made directly on the subject of the Battle 
of Dettingen, as well as on another subject of an entirely 
different nature?” We will answer. If we had but one 
battle, or three or four, to Mnemonize, we could do so, and 
remember the Mnemotechnic Phrases ; but when we come 
to learn scores, or hundreds, we find by experience, our 
best guide, that we can not remember the formulas. If we 
should attempt to remember the word Fatal in connection 
with the Battle of Waterloo, and the word Vessel in con- 
nection with the Battle of Trafalgar, provided we had hut 
those two Battle formulas to remember , we could doubtless do 
it ; but hundreds of other Battles were very fatal besides 
the Battle of Waterloo, and many others were fought on 
vessels besides the one in Trafalgar Bay. Let any person 
that is not favorably impressed with Homophonic Analo- 
gies at first sight, sit down and make plain formulas as we 
do for Historical Dates in general, for, say fifty Battles, or 
fifty Distinguished Men, and then attempt to remember the 
Phrases he has selected, and if he has not a hard task, then 
he does things easily that we have always found difficult. 
The explanation appears to be this. In making and learn- 
ing formulas for hundreds of Battles, without Homophonic 
Analogies, we have but one subject on which to construct 
all our sentences ; and, consequently, we can not get good 
and appropriate Phrases ; but where we use Homophonic 
Analogies we have as many, or nearly as many subjects as 
we have Battles. Then in learning them, the name of the 
Battle readily suggests the Homophonic term, by the like- 


ART OF MEMORY. 


105 


ness of sound, and the Mnemotechnic Phrase comes to mind 
from its connection in sense or meaning with the Homopho- 
nic term. The learner will observe two rules in construct- 
ing formulas with Homophonic Analogies; the Homophonic 
words should begin as nearly as possible like the original 
term, and it should also be some word or phrase that is fa- 
miliar to us. What is here said respecting the use of Ho- 
mophonic Analogies in constructing formulas for Battles, 
will apply equally well to the Eras of Distinguished Men, 
Latitudes and Longitudes of places, and other subjects where 
proper names^or technical terms are used. If we knew all 
the circumstances in connection with each Battle, Person or 
Place that we wished to Mnemonize, we could make a plain 
formula for it without a Homophonic term that we could re- 
member ; but no one is thus well informed. The student 
- will first learn the Homophonic terms in connection with 
each name of Battle or Person, and then commit the f >rmula 
by repeating it from the Homophonic to the final Phrase. 
The same rule must be observed in supplying the figure 1 
for the thousand years, in the formulas for Modern Battles, 
where it is omitted in the Phrase, that we do in all other 
Modern Dates. In the formulas for the Ancient Battles, of 
course we do not prefix the figure, as all Ancient Dates are 
given by a literal translation of the formulas. In all the 
Tables of Battles, the party first mentioned is the victor, 
and the last the vanquished. 

The principle of Homophonic Analogies, after a little 
practice, is as satisfactory to the student of Mnemotechny, as 
rhymes to the lover of Poetry. Every person can commit 
Poetry to memory easier than Prose. The reason is, that 
rhymes are pleasing to the ear, and easily impressed on 
the mind. Associations of sound are the strongest associa- 
tions in language. The only way that names can be im- 
pressed on the mind, if not remembered voluntarily, is to 
associate each name with some word or phrase that sounds 
like it, or nearly like it. Then, when the name is required, 


106 


MNEMOTECHNY, OR 


the image or idea of the familiar phrase comes to the mind, 
and calls up the name from the similarity of sound. If we 
meet a person by the name of Alexander, let us imagine 
we have seen Alexander the Great , or one of his descend- 
ants, and this idea attached to the person will most inevitably 
call up the name. Were we introduced to a gentleman by 
the name of Horsley, we could easily associate with it the 
word Horse, which sounds much like it. Imagine the gen- 
tleman to have the name of horse , or imagine he is a horse, 
if you please, and the ludicrous idea will readily fix the 
name in your mind. When the name is firs* mentioned to 
us, it should be immediately associated with some Homo- 
phonic Phrase, and repeated several times in the mind in 
connection with the phrase, that one may not be mistaken for 
the other. 

0 Memory depends to a great extent on attention and 
repetition. We may be told that this method of recollecting 
names is nothing new. Granted. It is old, but it is Mne- 
motechnic, notwithstanding. The principle is one of the 
easiest understood, and most philosophical in the laws of 
language ; and the only reason why names of persons and 
places are so often forgotten, is because this method is not 
more generally adopted. The above directions will be suf- 
ficient for the guidance of any one who is determined to im- 
prove, and practice will show its utility and make it easy 
and familiar.

Instructions. 

In the formulas for the Dates of American Battles, the 
month, day of the month, and year, are all represented. 
Each month is known by a number; January is number 1, 
February, 2, March, 3, April, 4, May, 5, June, 6, July, 7, 
August, 8, September, 9, October, 10, November, 11, and 
December, 12. 

The Mnemotechnic Phrase stands first for the figure or 
figures that represent the number of the month: the next 
two articulations are for the day of the month, and the final 
two articulations represent the last two figures in the year; 
the judgment of the student deciding whether the Battle 
took place between the years 1700 and 1800, or since the 
year 1800. The student will observe that if the last two 
articulations in the formula stand for more than fifty , the 
number 17 must be prefixed, to make the date complete ; 
and if the last two figures are less than fifty, the number 18 
must be prefixed. 

Whenever a Phrase represents first a cipher, and 
next a figure 1, the learner will see that the month repre- 
sented is January ; but if the first articulation stands for a 
figure 1, then two articulations are to be taken for the month, 
which will show the month to be the 10th., 11th., or 12fth., or 
October, November or December.

INSTRUCTIONS 

FOR THE 

[JSE OF THE NOMENCLATURE TABLE, 

AND 

LEARNING THE SOVEREIGNS OF FRANCE. 


The Nomenclature Table that follows, on page 133, is 
probably the most powerful aid to the memory, of any prin- 
ciple in Mnemotechny. Though, where all are important, 
and none can be fully appreciated without a knowledge of 
the others, it is difficult to tell which is the most useful or 
interesting. By the use of this Nomenclature Table, or 
new method of counting, as we call it, any person can per- 
form most surprising feats of Memory. More names or fig- 
ures can be committed to memory in one hour, by the aid of 
a Table like this, than by a day’s study in the ordinary way. 
Let us see first its application to the Sovereigns of France. 
It will be observed, that each word in the table stands for 
the number it is intended to represent. Hat translates to 
No. 1 , Honey to No. 2, and so on to the last word. This 
Table must first be committed to memory. The Sovereigns 
of France can be learned after committing it as high as 56. 
Eventually the Table must be learned up to 100, so fluently, 
that we can count as readily by saying Hat, Honey, Home, 
Harrow, &c., as we now can by One, Two, Three and 
Four. This Table is to be used as a method of counting. 
As each word articulates and translates according to the 
number it represents, we can, by a little practice, get so that 
when a number is given, we can instantly speak the word. 
If 52 is spoken, by thinking of the articulations le , ne, we 
recall the word Lion, and the same of any word wanted. 
On the other hand, when a word is given, like Rock, we can 
instantly tell its number (47) by translation. 


128 


MNEMOTECHNY, OR 


Let the student first learn the Table as high as Watch- 
house, or No. 60. Next read over carefully, four or five 
times, the Homophonic Analogies on pages 136 and 137. 

The first twelve Homophonics, for the Governments, and 
the Sovereigns where there is but one of a name, will be 
readily understood. Where there are several Kings of one 
name, but of different numbers, like Henry 1st., 2nd., &c., a 
different kind of Homophonic is used. It will be easily un- 
derstood after a little examination. Each Homophonic 
Analogy begins with some prominent letter or articulation 
found in the name of the King, and ends with an articula- 
tion that represents the number of the King. For example, 
each Homophonic for the Henrys, begins with R, and ends 
with t, n, m. or r, according to the number of the Henry 
represented. Henry I. is shown by the word Ri-te, the Re 
being for Henry, and te for 1. Henry II. has Ru-m, Re 
for Henry, and ne for 2. The Kings by the name of Louis, 
have Homophonics all beginning with L, and ending with 
one or two articulations which represent the number of the 
Louis. By looking these over carefully, four or five times, 
the learner will be able to repeat them both ways ; that is, if 
a King is mentioned, like Robert I., the Homophonic Rabbit 
can be given, and if Fair is mentioned, Philip IV. can be 
given as its King. These must be made familiar, when the 
formulas on pages 138, 139 and 140 may be learned. The 
words in the formulas which represent figures, are in An- 
tique Type, and the Homophonics representing the Sove- 
reigns or Governments are in Small Capitals. After the 
formulas are learned, by a little practice, any King or Gov- 
ernment can be called to mind, and the number, date and years 
of each reign or government given readily. The final phrase 
in each formula represents first the date, then all the re- 
maining figures stand for the number of years the SovereigE 
reigned, or the time that administration or government con 
tinued.

Examples. 

A Hat is a convenient place to carry A Chart of Maine, 

though seldom worn by A G-ay Chief in Russia 
The Wind d rives the Nautilus by the Fin, 

until a storm makes him Hide or "Dive for Sea-room. 

From the word Hat standing for 1, being the first word 
in the Nomenclature Table, and Chart of Maine, the Ho- 
mophonic Analogy, we see that the first King must have 
been Charlemagne. “ Gay Chief in Russia,” stands for 768, 
the date, and 46, the number of years the reign continued. 
In the next formula, the word Wind gives us 21 for the 
number of the Sovereign in the succession, Fin gives us 
Philip II., and “Hide or Dive for Sea-room,” gives the date, 
1180, and the years of the reign, 43. If a certain King in 
the succession is wanted, like the 10th., the word Woods 
as the 10th. word of the Table, and beginning the 10th. for- 
mula, will call to mind Rabbit, for Robert I., and “ Open 
Den,” for 921, the date, and 2, the years of the reign. If 
the reign of a particular Sovereign is wanted, for example, 
John II., the word June as its Homophonic is recollected, 
when, if our formulas are well committed to memory , we shall 
remember Meadow as commencing the formula, giving us 
31, as the number of the Sovereign, and the closing phrase, 
“ Meal or Straw,” gives us 1350, the date, and 14 years for 
the length of the reign. 

Though there is apparently more matter to commit to 
memory in this way, than to go to work and learn the Table 
of the Kings, their dates, and all at once, on pages 134 
and 135, yet the student need not think it more difficult. 
On the other hand, it is far easier to learn the Nomenclature 
Table, Homophonics and Formulas; and when once thor- 
oughly learned, it will not be readily forgotten. As an en- 
couragement to the student, we will mention, what is true, 
that in a very extensive acquaintance we have never known 
but two persons who had ever learned the dates and succes- 
sions of the reigns of either the French or the Fmglish 


130 


MNEMOTECHNY, OR 


Kings, by the jisual method of study. These were two la- 
dies, and they assured us they devoted several weeks hard 
study to them. Now we have known hundreds learn both 
the French and English Sovereigns by Mnemotechny, and 
by only three or four hours’ study for each line of Sove- 
reigns. It may be well to mention that Charlemagne, 
though inserted here as the first Sovereign of France, was not 
the first one in reality. He was the first Sovereign of any 
distinction, having enlarged his dominions extensively by 
conquest, and in the year 800 was crowned “ Emperor of 
the West.” The Kingdom of the Franks was founded by 
Pharamond, in the year 420, and twenty-three Kings reigned 
previous to Charlemagne, but they occupy a very unimportant 
portion of French History, and on that account are omitted. 

The uses of this Nomenclature Table, besides the assist- 
ance it renders in learning this line of Sovereigns, are more 
than could be illustrated in a score of pages. Some of these 
will be explained here. By the aid of this Table, a list of 
words, or proper names of persons or places, of a hundred 
in number, can be committed to memory by hearing or read- 
ing them but once. They can also be recited backward as 
well as forward, and any one, like the forty-seventh, or six- 
ty-fourth, can be recalled at pleasure. One example will 
show how it is done. A few names will serve for an illus- 
tration, as well as many. We will try the following: 1. 
Dr. Franklin; 2. Tree; 3. Europe ; 4. Mississippi; 5. 
Buffalo. To learn them, we associate each one with the 
words of the Nomenclature Table in the order they come. 
We will say to ourselves, when Franklin’s name is men- 
tioned, that Franklin doubtless wore a Hat. Then for a 
Tree, we will say Honey is often found in a Tree. Europe, 
the 3rd. word, is associated with Home , the 3rd. word of the 
Table. Europe is a Home for millions of people. Missis- 
sippi, the 4th., we will say, is a state where farmers use the 
Harrow. The word Buffalo is the 5th., and consequently 
must be imagined on the Hill, the 5th. word of the Table. 


ART OF MEMORY. 


131 


By a reference to the Nomenclature Table, it will be ob- 
served that the five words given were associated with the 
first five words of that Table. Then to recite the list, let 
the mind run on the Nomenclature words, which must have 
been committed to memory previously. Hat will call up 
Dr. Franklin, as we said that Franklin wore a hat; Honey 
recals the word Tree ; Home gives us Europe ; Harrow , 
Mississippi ; and Hill, Buffalo. If we wish to say them 
backward, let the mind go from Hill to Hat, reversing the 
order. Then if any one of them is wanted, like the 3rd. ; 
the word Home, being the third word in the Table, will call 
up Europe. If one of the words is mentioned, like Buffalo, 
we shall know the number of it in the succession to be 5, 
because it is associated with Hill , the 5th. word of the Ta- 
ble. Practice will make this very easy ; so that 50 or 100 
words or names can be learned as easy as five. If more than 
100 Names are to be learned, use other Nomenclature Ta- 
bles. To learn a list of figures from hearing them but 
once, the learner must hear two of the figures at a time, 
turn them into a word that shall represent them by transla- 
tion ; then associate the word with the first word of the Ta- 
ble, and so on till all the figures are associated, two at a time. 
For example, we will take the figures 4, 0, 9, 5, 2, 1, 5, 1. 
Now, having heard or read the two figures 4, 0, we think 
of the articulations that represent them, which are re, ze. 
From those two articulations we can make the word Bose. 
We will imagine the Rose to be in the Hat. Next, 9, 5, 
would be articulated he, le, which can be changed to Bowl. 
As Honey is the 2nd. word in the Table, we will have a 
Bowl of Honey. For 2, 1, we have ne, te, which can be 
represented in Night. A Night is usually spent at Home. 
The figures 5, 1, will articulate le, te, or le, de. We will 
take the word Lad, and as it is the fourth couplet of figures, 
we must associate Lad with Harrow, the fourth word in the 
Table. Then to recite the figures from memory, let the 
mind run on the Nomenclature words, Hat, Honey, Home , 


132 


MNEMOTECHNY, OR 


Harrow. The first one, Hat, will call to mind the word 
Rose, which articulates re, ze, standing for 4, 0. The word 
Honey gives us Bowl, or be] le; 9, 5. The word Home gives 
us Night, or ne, te ; 2, 1. Harrow gives us Lad, or le, de; 
5, 1 ; being altogether 4, 0, 9, 5, 2, 1, 5, 1, the same as the 
original list. To recite them backward, we begin at Har- 
row, and go back to Hat, translating each word backward. 
To give any figure, for instance, the sixth one in the list ; 
knowing that it must be the last one in the third couplet, we 
find it in the word associated with Home, being Night. 
The last articulation being te, the sixth figure must be 1. 
The seventh figure must be the first one in the fourth coup- 
let, and of course will be found in the word associated with 
Harrow. The word is Lad , which gives us le, or 5, for the 
seventh figure. By having two figures given at a time, and 
a few moments to make each association, a list of fifty, one 
hundred, or five hundred figures can be learned in a few 
minutes, and recited accurately and fluently both forward 
and backward. The utility of this method of learning 
names and figures may be questioned by some, on a first 
examination, but a little practice will show its great advan- 
tage over the ordinary method of learning. It may be 
asked, “ Will these impressions be durable, and never be for- 
gotten ?” Never is a long word. There are circumstances 
occurring daily, where names or figures are to be remem- 
bered for only a short time; perhaps a few hours, or a day 
or two. When we remember them for the time required, 
the object for which they were learned being accomplished, 
we naturally lose the impression on our minds, as we might 
wish to. Where a permanent impression is iTquired, by 
repeating a few times, and charging our minds with the sub- 
ject, we can make a permanent impression, as in the Tables 
of the Sovereigns of France or England. Another method 
of learning a long list of figures will be shown in a future 
lesson : also other uses of this Nomenclature Table.

INSTRUCTIONS 

FOR THE 

SECOND NOMENCLATURE TABLE, 

AND THE 

SOVEREIGNS OF ENGLAND. 


The student will find no difficulty in learning the Sove- 
reigns of England, after an examination of the Sovereigns 
of France, and the preceding Instructions. The second 
Nomenclature Table, which follows, on page 143, is on 
nearly the same plan of Nomenclature Table No. 1. 
There is, however, this difference. While the Table No. 1 
is a simple Table, each word translating to the exact num- 
ber that it represents, the words in Table No. 2, all have 
more articulations than are needed to make the correct num- 
ber. To find the number that each word is intended to 
represent, in this Table, we must translate the first tico artic- 
ulations only , and let all the other articulations go. For 
example, we will take the words Swamp and Orator. The 
first two articulations in Swamp , are se , me , standing for 0, 
3, showing the word to be No. 3. The first two articula- 
tions in Orator , are re, te, giving 41 as the number of the 
word. The first nine words in the Table are zero words , or 
words standing first for a zero or cipher, and then the next 
articulation represents the number. All the words follow- 
ing the ninth one, have three or more articulations, but only 
the first two are to be taken. This difference between the 
two Nomenclature Tables was made, that the learner might 
be able to tell the words of one from those of the other, and 
not get them confused. There being kings of the same 
name in the lines of French and English Sovereigns, two 
distinct Nomenclature Tables were necessary for learning 
them. 


142 


MNEMOTECHNY, OR 


The Homophonic Analogies for the English Sovereigns 
are on the same plan as the French, and will be readily un- 
derstood after an examination of the latter in connection with 
the preceding Instructions. The formulas for the English 
Sovereigns differ from the French in having one or two ar- 
ticulations in each formula after the first fifteen, to represent 
the number of the Dynasty. It can be remembered that 
the first fifteen Sovereigns belong to Dynasty No. 1. All 
the formulas after the first fifteen, translate regularly, first to 
the date of the reign, the next two articulations for the num- 
ber of years the reign continued, and all that remain for the 
number of the Dynasty. 

Example. 

Armor in time of war, will protect a Lazy Queen, 

and guard an Idle Life or a War Life. 

In the above formula, the Nomenclature word Armor,' 
shows the Sovereign to be the 43rd., from re, me, the first 
two articulations. The Homophonic Analogy, Lazy Queen, 
shows the Sovereign to be Queen Elizabeth, and Idle 
Life or War Life, gives us de, le, le, fe, 1558, for the 
commencement of the reign, re, le, 45, for the number of 
years the reign continued, and fe, 8, for the number of the 
Dynasty. The student must learn in the Table of Sove- 
reigns on pages 144 and 145, that the first Dynasty was the 
house of Old Saxon Kings, the second Dynasty the Danish 
Kings, and so on through the eleven Dynasties. The stu- 
dent must commit thoroughly to memory the second Nomen- 
clature Table, at least as high as 56 or 60. This is indis- 
pensable in learning the English Sovereigns. The whole 
Table, from 1 to 100, can be used in the same manner as 
the first Table, in learning names, figures, &c. These No- 
menclature Tables are very important, being the sources of 
a large amount of instruction, as well as amusement. 

In the formulas for the settlement of the States, on page 
153, the last two figures of the date only are given, leaving 
the century to be supplied by the learner.

FORMULAS FOR 

THE 

SOVEREIGNS OF ENGLAND. 


A City would make the Head of a Bird, 

A Heavy Unquiet Head. 

The Sun is a pleasanter sight than the Head of a Wolf, 
to one who is on the Foam of the Wavy Deep. 

A Swamp full of trees, is not much like A Head that is Bald, 
but it is a place where hunters procure Fuel and Game. 

A Sword is sometimes taken to cut off the Head of a Bear, 
but it is often er used in A Voyage or a Siege. 

A Cellar does not more resemble A Red Hat, 

than it does A Fish or a Shawl. 


The Sash of the soldier is seen in the Halls of the Great, 
who go to war with A Heavy Q-un and a Knife. 


A School is sometimes kept by 
who likes to see his 

A Sofa does not more resemble

A Sea-boat is used by the ship’s 
while chasing 


A Dreaded Ancient, 

Boys on a Snow-hill. 
A Tall Stand, 
Fiano of lady Jay. 

Odd-mate, 
A Pirate or a Whale. 


A Desk does not resemble the 
of a soldier, or 

A Theatre often has

A Tunnel is shaped some like Chinese 
or a kettle that is used to 


Red Head, 

A Brave Whig. 
A Red Window, 
A Bell and a lyre. 

Head Gear, 

Boil Potash. 


A Temple is a better residence for A Dreaded Martyr, 
than for A Bugler. 

A Trap will not hold R kd Wine, 

so well as A Boy’s Cup or IVEug. 

A Dollar is seldom found in the pocket of an Odd-man, 

who is sleepiug in A Wood-house or a Wood-shed. 

A Toy-shop often contains a miniature Canoe and a Gate, 
articles that children use, while Tasting of a Hot Bun.’ 


ART OF MEMORY. 


149 


A Tiger that belongs to a king, is a Royal Toy, 

and his exhibition an Idea o/Some Showy Wise Man. 

A 'Wood-fire can burn up the Indian’s Large Canoe, 

a boat like the Yacht of Some Happy Seaman. 

A Table is usually kept in the room of A Dreaded Confessor, 

who does not Desire Any New Room. 

The Newspaper is read in every palace and Royal Inn, 
and also by Odious Judges in an Easy Home. 

The Indian admires every Lady Conqueror, 

though ladies prefer the Society of Sage Gentry. 

A Nunnery does not contain A Loon, 

nor any who Deceive with Good Humor. 

Mnemotechny is often studied in the Night, 

to learn the Dates of Some Holy War. 

Noah’s Ark was not occupied by Mr. Stephens, 

though it contained A 'White, Tame and Wild Dear. 

New Holland is perhaps the residence of A Nun,. 

who lives like A State Isawyer in a Homely Hall. 

An Engine on a Steamer, is propelled by hot water, or Rich Tea, 
which drives it faster than A Stout Heavy Doat-sail. 

An Anchor is a heavier load than a glass of Gin, 

for A Stout Dooby or a White Gull. 

A Novel sometimes gives an author a great Name, 

and leaves him as poor as A Dandy in a Shallow Jail. 

A Knapsack is carried by many a soldier who is out of Debt, 
and takes his meals in A Tin Can on a Homely Hill. 

A Mastiff will attack a wild beast in his Den, 

and by his fleetness, catch A IMoose, a Coonora Seal. 

A Mad-house is the home of many who are not worth a Dime, 
poor people, who let their Mtoney Go by ’’Wholesale. 

A Monument is usually higher than a hotel or Rich Inn, 
and resembles the Tomb of the Gay Queen of the Nile. 

A Mammoth has not been seen for many a New Year, 
from Tampa Bay to a Wood in Kussia. 

A Mirror could be broken by a Nail, 

and make a loss its owner could not Kedeem with Specie. 

A Mail-coach goes through a mountain’s Notch 

and by robbers, gets Drawn into a New Ambush. 

A Mushroom is never eaten by a Deer, 

nor by A Thrush or a Wooden Nag,

MNEMOTECHNY, OR 


A Moccasin, worn by a Doll, 

would make it look like A Dwarf Miss in a Sock. 

A Muffin is seen in every Rich Home, 

and also in the Rough Home of a Wise Yankee. 

A Maple tree could not be climbed by a Nag, 

as easily as we could Drive a Dion over a Roof. 

A Recess sometimes shelters a Knave, 

a man who acts like A Dazy Soy or a Mliffy Foe. 

An Orator is sometimes seen among the Dutch, 

who is as musical as A Dark or a Wise Chief. 

An Orange is often eaten by a Merry Queen, 

a personage who is little else than A Doyal Home Slave. 

A rmor in time of war would protect a Lazy Queen, 

and guard An Idle Dife or a War-life. 


A War-horse while reposing on a Mat, 

will sleep as sound as A Joyous Man at a OTap. 

A Whirlpool would destroy any work of Art, 

that is held by A Chain, a Dine or a Rope. 

A 'War-ship could not sail in a Ground Well, 

neither could A Huge Dime Sloop. 

An Organ is sometimes played in an Arena, 

for the amusement of A J udge or a Wise Unholy Roy. 

A River in the state of Maine, 

has clearer water than A Ditch, a Valley or a Swamp. 

A Ribbon is nearer the color of a piece of Lime, 

than A Dutch Fife or a Tortoise. 


A Dyceum might afford entertainment to a Handsome Queen, 
a Sovereign who can rule A Gay Senate of Knights. 

A Dight-house is to the mariner, a decided Cheat, 

unless it will guide A Cutter at the Time of Tide. 

A Walnut is a tree that could be made into a Chain, 

such a one as A Gay Yankee May Imitate. 

A Damp is used by many a Chum, 

in college, where we can Catch a Sage at Study. 

A Dark would not like to sit in a Chair, 

nor in A Fine Settee in a Study. 

A Dilac tree could be made into a Lyre 

to accompany A Famous Song or a Ditty.' 

A Deger is owned by many a Victorious Queen, 

who is as stern, as A Dove is Meek.

It will be noticed in the formulas for the 

Presidents, 

that 


each one begins with a word that sounds like the number in 
the succession. One is represented with Wand, Two with 
Tooth, and so on to the eleventh, forming a sort of Nomen- 
clature Table. If any President is wanted in the succes- 
sion, like the fourth , the word Fort will call up the formu- 
la, and Spy will give the date, or the last two figures of 
it, when the century can be supplied by the learner.

MNEMOTECHNY, OR 


INSTRUCTIONS FOR 

TREATIES, EMINENT PERSONS, 

AND 

LATITUDES AND LONGITUDES. 

The Treaties of Peace have the same kind of formula as 
the Modern Battles. A few of these were given in the 
Modern Chronology, but for greater convenience, they are 
repeated here, together with all the most important National 
Treaties of Modern Times. The parties concerned in the 
Treaties, must be learned from the Table, as in the case of 
Battles, as it was not thought advisable to mention them in 
the formula. The formulas for the eminent persons, re- 
quire but little explanation. Those for the Ancients, give 
simply the date. The date given is usually that of the 
death of the person ; but where the era of the death has not 
been known, the date of the birth, or the time the person 
flourished, is given. In the Table on page 158, “ fl .” shows 
that the date is the time the individual flourished , and “ b.” 
the time of the birth. Where neither of these are given, 
the date may be considered the time of the person’s death. 
In the formulas for the persons of Modern time, the Phrase 
translates first to the date of the person’s death, and the two 
remaining articulations stand for the age. If the date of 
the birth is wanted, it can be obtained by subtracting the 
age from the date of the death. As in all other modern 
dates, if the first articulation does not stand for figure 1, 
that figure must be supplied, to give the correct date. 

For the formulas of the Latitudes and Longitudes, we 
have this rule : 

The first two articulations stand for the Lat- 
itude, and all that remain, for the Longitude. 

Latitude, being always under 90°, never contains over 
two figures ; and if the latitude is less than 10°, the first ar- 
ticulation stands for a zero.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE 

POPULATION OF CITIES AND COUNTRIES, 
LENGTHS OF RIVERS, 

HEIGHTS OF MOUNTAINS, CATARACTS, TOWERS, & c., 

AND 

SPECIFIC GRAVITIES. 


As it is inconvenient to construct formulas that represent a 
large number of ciphers, as in the population of places, lengths 
of rivers, etc., and, at the same time, of no utility in learning 
them, we have the phrases stand for the even number of hun- 
dreds, thousands, or millions, as the case may be, and from the 
nature of the subjects we can give the correct answer. For 
the subjects that follow, from page 194 to 200, we have these 
rules : 

1. In the formulas for the population of countries, 
the phrases represent the number of millions ; and for 
the population of cities, they stand for thousands. 

2. The lengths of the rivers are given in hundreds 
of miles, and the heights of mountains in hundreds of 
feet ; but the heights of water-falls, towers, spires, 
and monuments, are given in the exact number of 
feet. 

3. In the formulas for specific gravities, the last 
three articulations stand for the decimals, and all the 
articulations that precede the last three (if any), are 
the whole numbers, and show how many times heavi- 
er than water or air, the substance is. 

4. The formulas for the population by Continents 
and Religions, on page 212, stand for the even number 
of millions.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEARNING 

THE 

SENTIMENTS OF FLOWERS. 


If the Instructions for the Battles, on page 203 , and the following 
three pages, have been carefully looked over by the learner, there 
will be no difficulty in understanding the formulas for the flowers. 
To the above-mentioned pages, the reader is referred for an ex- 
planation of Homophonic Analogies. If we knew the reason 
why the flowers have the language that is given them, we could 
easily learn them without the aid of our Art; but, in most cases, 
we are ignorant of the habits or uses of the flower that give rise 
to the sentiment. In a large number of cases there is belteved 
to be no reason existing for the sentiments that are given the 
flowers. Where that has been known, it has been given in the 
formula. The sentiments of Moving Plant, Agitation, Sensitive 
Plant, Sensitiveness , and some others, are very obvious from the 
name and habits of the plants, but not so the most of the flowers 
in our catalogue. Why does Arum convey the language of 
“ Ferocity and Deceit /” We do not know; but by a formula 
we can easily connect the flower with the sentiment. 

Example. 

Rum , - - - - makes a man intoxicated, and gives him 

Arum. a look of Ferocity and Deceit. 

We can easily remember Rum, the homophonic analogy of 
Arum, from its likeness of sound ; and then the sentiment 
having an apparent connection with Rum, will be easily fixed in 
the mind. In committing them to memory, the learner will take 
a page of the formulas at a time, and learn the Homophonics, or 
rhymes, first, by speaking the name of the flower, then the Ho- 
mophonic phrase directly above it. After the Homophonics are 
learned, the formulas must be committed to memory, by studying 
them, beginning at the Homophonic, which is in Italic, and read- 
ing through to the final phrase, or sentiment, which is in Antique 
letter.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR 

MYTHOLOGY AND ASTRONOMY. 

In the three following pages, the learner will find the most 
piominent Mythological characters, with the offices attributed to 
them. They are so often mentioned in Poetry, Ancient History, 
and the Classics, that a familiarity with their attributes is indis- 
pensable that we may the more readily understand our reading. 
Many of them are doubtless familiar to the reader already. As 
will be seen, they are arranged in alphabetical order, under their 
appropriate heads of Celestial Deities, Terrestrial Deities, etc. 
The Nine Muses, with the departments of Poetry and the Pine 
Arts, which they preside over, are on the same page with the 
Seven Wonders of the World, the Seven Wise Men of Greece, 
and the Twelve Labors of Hercules. It will be well to commit 
these, by associating them with words in the Nomenclature Ta- 
bles. The Twelve Labors, can be associated with the first 
twelve words of the Second Nomenclature Table: and the Nine 
Muses with the first nine words of the First Table. The Seven 
Wise Men, and Seven Wonders, can each be associated with the 
seven words in each Nomenclature Table, beginning with word 
No. 51. 

The attributes of each Deity, or Divinity, in the Mythological 
Tables — or the definitions , as we may call them — may be com-, 
mitted to memory as they are printed, except the more difficult 
ones, which can be drawn off, and formulas constructed for them 
by the learner, in the same style as the flower formulas. Find- 
ing Homophonic Analogies, and constructing the formulas, will be 
an excellent exercise. 

The formulas for the Planets, on page 241, give the correct 
Mythological definitions of the characters as there mentioned, 
and will be easily committed by the learner. The Phrases in those 
formulas give the distance that each planet is from the Sun, in 
millions of miles. For the pronunciation of the difficult names 
in the Mythological Tables, the learner is referred to the Pro- 
nouncing Index, commencing on page 251.

MNEMOTECHNY, OR 


INSTRUCTIONS FOR 

POETRY, PROSE, FIGURES, &c. 


The learner is doubtless anxious to know how we apply Mne- 
motechny to the learning of Prose and Poetry. Under very 
many circumstances our Mnemotechnic rules will be of great 
assistance. The System is perhaps notnpplied as extensively to 
the learning of compositions in prose and verse, as to many other 
things that we wish to remember. This arises from the nature 
of the subjects themselves. 

The object of Mnemotechny is to assist the natural mind in 
acquiring and retaining information. Some subjects are difficult 
to learn, and others quite easy. We reduce the difficult subjects 
to an easy standard. What, then, can we do with easy ones ? 
Reduce them to a standard still more easy ? Sometimes we can. 
Figures and statistics being much more difficult to remember 
than sentences, we reduce the figures to words and sentences, 
and then remember those instead of the figures. Just so with 
names. When a name is new, strange or abstruse, and conse- 
quently difficult to remember, we substitute in place of it some 
word or phrase that is familiar to us, and that sounds like the name. 
We then endeavor to fix our recollection on the familiar phrase, 
and that being remembered, it brings the other along with it. 

Mnemotechny consists of the most easy, natural and philo- 
sophical methods of assisting the natural memory. Now, as 
Mnemotechny can assist the learner in a recollection of names, 
figures, scientific definitions and abstruse facts by substituting in 
place of them, words, sentences and formulas that are more fa- 
miliar and easy to remember, it may be asked how can it aid or 
assist our minds to as great an extent , in a recollection of those 
subjects which are from their nature easy and familiar already ? 
We know not. The writer of this article can commit to memo- 
ry permanently, a page or chapter of names, figures, arbitrary 
definitions, historical events, detached sentences, or the rules of 
a science, in one fifth, and, in many cases, one tenth the time 
that he could before learning Mnemotechny ; but he can not com- 
mit to memory a page or section of plain prose or poetry in one 


ART OP MEMORY. 


243 


half of the time that he could before. Nevertheless, he can 
learn it now in less time than formerly. Some may be disposed 
to condemn Mnemotechny because it will not enable them to 
learn any and every thing in the shortest possible time, and that 
without the least trouble or attention. This treatise is not writ- 
ten for such persons. We do not learn Mnemotechny to ena- 
’ble us to remember when to arise in the morning, or when to go 
to our meals, any more than we want a railroad or a steamboat 
to carry us through a house or across a street. There are very 
many things which we wish to remember that can be retained in 
the mind by a direct application of the natural memory; and 
those subjects do not require the rules of our System. It should 
be the aim of the learner to apply rules that are laid down, or 
invent new ones to assist in learning all those subjects that are 
from their nature difficult. Memory always did and always will 
depend to a certain extent on attention and repetition. But study 
and repetition alone, will not accomplish as much in five hours, 
in many subjects , as they will with our rules in one hour. 

The learner will see two hundred extracts from different wri- 
ters, beginning on page 247, and filling near forty pages. Let 
any person attempt to learn them all by the usual manner of stu- 
dying, and then call up from memory, the 67th., 84th., 129th., or 
any other one, recite it verbatim, and tell whose writings it is 
from, and what particular composition of the author’s it can be 
found in. For instance, if it is from the Bible, let the book, 
chapter and verse be given ; if it is from Shakspeare, let the play, 
act and scene be quoted. If from Pope, Byron or any other 
Poet, let the poem, canto and stanza be referred to. We will 
venture to assert that not one person in a thousand could so learn 
the 200 extracts in six months’ time. By our Mnemotechnic 
rules, they can be learned accurately in a very few days. The 
following are the directions : Both Nomenclature Tables on pages 
133 and 143 must be learned, so that any word in them can be 
given readily. Then the extracts from the different writers must 
be committed to memory one after another, by studying them, 
and as they are learned, each one must be associated with the 
word of the Nomenclature Table that corresponds to it in number. 
The promiuent idea contained in the first quotation must be asso- 
ciated with Hat, the idea in the second with Honey , and so on. 


244 


MNEMOTECHNY, OR 


After getting up to 100, the 101st. extract must be associated with 
City, the first word of the second table, the 115th. with the 15th. 
word of the second table, and so with the rest. A little man- 
agement has been used in the arrangement, as will be seen. 
For instance, the quotation from Shakspepre, beginning, “ There 
is a tide in the affairs of men/’ has been putin the eleventh place, 
to be associated with “ tide ,” the 11th. word of the table. They 
could have been learned, however, nearly as easy if no arrange- 
ment of this kind had been made. The author has often had *20, 
30, or 50 or more quotations read to him that he was familiar with 
before, and by pausing a moment after hearing each one read, to 
make the association with the Nomenclature word, he would 
recite them all in the order given, and also call up and recite any 
one like the 24th., 37th., or any other that may be wanted, and 
that from hearing them but once. In order to do this from a 
single reading, it is necessary to have each quotation of itselt 
committed to memory previously. The order is then learned and 
remembered from one reading. 

In our chapter of quotations here, the learner must remember 
the author of each one, by the style of the extract ; or the name 
at the close must be learned in connection with each one. A per- 
son who is well acquainted with the poets, will of course do this 
easier than one who is not. There is something in the style of 
Scriptural, Shakspearian and other extracts, that will show the 
young learner after a little attention, the source whence it is de- 
rived. For all the extracts from the Bible, from Shakspeare 
and from Byron’s Childe Harold, comprising a large majority of 
the whole, there will be observed a word or phrase at the close of 
each article that is its “ Mnemotechnic Phrase ,” and the articula- 
tions of it will show where it can be found. In the quotation from 
the Bible, where the “ Mnemotechnic Phrase ” begins with te , or 
de , (1,) the book is Deuteronomy , as it begins with de, 1. No. 2, 
is for Psalms , though 3 is the first number represented after the 
se , (0.) This is placed No. 2, to be distinguished from Matthew , 
which begins with me , 3. This can be remembered. No. 4, is 
for Romans, (re, 4 ;) No. 5 for Leviticus, ( le , 5 ;) No. 6 for Job, 
( je , 6 ;) No. 7 for Exodus, ( ke , 7 ;) No. 9 for Proverbs, ( pe , 9,) 
there being no one for No. 8. 

Now the 32nd. article, (associated with “ikfoon,” the 32nd. word 


ART OF MEMORY. 


245 


of the Nomenclature Table No. 1,) has at the close of it the 
word “ never,” ns its “ Mnemotechnic Phrase ,” and that must be 
remembered in connection with the quotation, when ne, for 2, 
will remind us that it is from Psalms , according to the above 
classification, and ve , gives us the 8th. Psalm, and re, the 4th. verse. 
The 82nd. quotation has for its Mnemotechnic Phrase , “ Happy 
Judge ,” and that gives us pe, 9, for Proverbs, je, for the 6th. chap- 
ter, and je, again, for the Cth. verse. “ Noon on a Hill,” the 
“ Phrase ” at the close of the 10th. quotation, being from Byron’s 
Childe Harold, gives us ne , for the 2nd. canto, and ne, le , for the 
25th. stanza. As stated before, the learner must tell by the style of 
the quotation, or a familiarity with the different writers, what au- 
thor or work the article is from. This, of course, will not be done 
by very young learners. Something like half of the quotations given 
are from the Dramatic works of Shakspeare, a Poet, who, if we 
take the verdict of his millions of admirers,, has given us more 
maxims of wisdom, more that is true to Nature, than (except the 
inspired writers) we have received from all authors who have 
ever written. On page 284, the names of all of Shakspeare’s 
dramas are given, in connection with the numbers, in the order 
that they are generally printed. These must be learned in con- 
nection with the first 37 words of the first Nomenclature Table, 
(which are printed opposite to them,) so that the name of any 
one can be given as soon as we hear its number. The 85th. quo- 
tation is from Shakspeare, and the Mnemotechnic Phrase “Bird,” 
at the close of it, will show where it can be found. The first ar- 
ticulation, be, shows the drama to be the 9th. one, and which we 
must know to be the “ Merchant of Venice ,” by associating it with 
“ Abbey .” Then, re, gives us the 4th. act, and de, the 1st. scene. 
There is one exception to this arrangement of the Shakspearian 
extracts. All that are from the Tragedy of Hamlet have a Mne- 
motechnic Phrase that only represents the number of the Act 
and Scene, without any articulations to stand for 36, the num- 
ber of the play. So that in all the quotations from Shakspeare, 
where there are but two articulations in the Mnemotechnic Phrase, 
the article is from Hamlet, and the two articulations stand for the 
Act and Scene. This arrangement is for greater convenience, as 
a large number are from Hamlet, and 36 is rather an inconveni- 
ent number to mnemonize. Some may ask how we are to re- 
21 *

member so many associations as we have for the words of the 
first Nomenclature Table. The writer of these lines, speaking 
from experience , knows it to be easy, or no way difficult. 

The piece of poetry entitled “ Gkkhale,” on pages 286 and 
287, can be committed to memory, and each line associated with 
the corresponding word of the first Nomenclature Table, and 
then the 15th., 24th., 39th., or any other line, can be called up at 
pleasure. This learning poetry line by line, however ingenious 
and interesting it may be in particular cases, is usually more nice 
than wise. The associations better be made with each stanza , 
provided it is divided into stanzas. 

Whenever a long series of Rules of any Science, Art or Lan- 
guage are to be learned, the student will find very great advantage 
in associating each word of the Nomenclature Table with each 
rule, in the order they come. In this manner the author has 
known small boys learn the rules of their Latin Grammar to the 
number of nearly one hundred, so that any rule could be called up 
from memory; just as we can call up a King, Sovereign, President, 
or quotation from a writer’s works, on hearing its number given. 

On page 285, will be seen a list of figures, carried out in a cir- 
culating decimal to 336 places of figures. The learner can exer- 
cise his or her ingenuity, in making out a series of lines that shall 
stand for the figures. Let each line begin with a word from one 
of the Nomenclature Tables, in the order they come, and have 
each line represent ten figures. We have made the figures out 
in doggerel rhymes, and from the recollection of the lines we can 
recite the list forwards and backwards, and give any figures in 
the list that may be called for. For making out a series of con- 
secutive formulas for this decimal, the Mnemotechnic Dictionary, 
comprising the Second Part of this work, must be consulted. 
This Dictionary is published for the purpose of aiding the student 
in constructing formulas. The most important tables of statistics 
in History, Biography, Geography, etc., etc., have been inserted 
in this book ; but there are many others which will occur in the 
course of the student’s reading or study, that he will wish to learn 
through the aid of Mnemotechny. A manuscript book should be 
provided, and, as subjects occur, formulas should be composed 
and written in it. In the Introduction to the Dictionary, will be 
found all necessary instructions for the making of formulas.

Selections. 

1. There are some happy moments in this lone 

And desolate world of ours, that well repay 
The toil of struggling through it, and atone 
For many a long, sad night., and weary day. 

They come upon the mind like some wild air 
Of distant music, when we know not where, 

Or whence the sounds are brought from — and their power 
Though brief, is boundless. — 

From “ Fanny .” Halleck. 

2. There is some soul of goodness in things evil, 

Would men observingly distill it out; 

Thus may we gather honey from the weed, 

And make a moral of Satan himself. 

King Henry 5th — Act 4, Sc. 1. Shaksteare. 

A New Sword. 

3. ’Tis sweet to hear the watch dog’s honest bark 

Bay deep-mouthed welcome as we draw near home ; 
’Tis sweet to know there is an eye will mark 
Our coming, and look brighter when we come ; 

’Tis sweet to be awakened by the lark, 

Or lulled by falling waters ; sweet the hum 
Of bees, the voice of girls, the song of birds, 

The lisp of children, and their earliest words. 

Byron. 

4. Truth crushed to earth will rise again ; 

The eternal years of God are hers ; 

But Error wounded, writhes in pain, 

And dies amid her worshippers. 

Bryant. 

5. But, look ! the morn in russet mantle clad, 

Walks o’er the dew of yon high eastern hill.

12. I’ve traversed many a mountain strand, 

Abroad and in my native land ; 

And it hath been my lot to tread 
Where safety more than pleasure led, 

Thus, many a waste I’ve wandered o’er, 

Clombe many a crag, crossed many a moor, 

But, by my halidome, 

A scene so rude, so wild as this, 

Yet so sublime in barrenness. 

Ne’er did my wandering footsteps press, 

Where’er I happ’d to roam.

Know ye ihe land of the cedar and vine, 

Where the flowers ever blossom, the beams ever shine ; 
Where the light wings of zephyr, oppressed with perfume, 
Wax faint o’er the gardens of GG1 in her bloom ; 

Where the citron and olive are fairest of fruit, 

And the voice of the nightingale never is mute ; 

Where the tints of t he earth, and the hues of the sky, 

In color though varied, in beauty may vie, 

And the purple of ocean is deepest in dye :

His greatness is a ripening, nips his root,

165. Costly apparatus and splendid cabinets, have no magical 
power to make scholars. In all circumstances, as man 
is, under God, the master of his own fortune, so is he 
the maker of his own mind. The Creator has so con- 
stituted the human intellect, that it can grow only by its 
own action , and by its own action it most certainly and 
necessarily grows. Every man must therefore in an im- 
portant sense, educate himself. His books and teachers 
are but helps : the work is his. A man is not educated 
until he has t lie ability to summon, in case of emergency, 
all his mental power in vigorous exercise to e fleet his 
proposed object. It is not the man who has seen most, 
or who has read most, who c .n do this. Nor is it the 
man that can boast merely of native vigor and capacity. 
The greatest of all the "Warriors that went to the siege

by a stream, only to be set at work, and so to achieve 
great ends, where the feebleness of an ordinary mind 
would have been swept away and carried downwards to 
perdition. In morals and in intellect, nothing is impos- 
sible to it. This ener y of purpose, is the one great 
talent; other powers there are, but their office is chiefly 
to regulate our progression, or at most to accelerate it.

191. And such they are — and such they will be found. 

Not so Leonidas and Washington, 

Whose every battle-field is holy ground, 

Which breathes of nations saved, not worlds undone. 
How sweetly on the ear such echoes sound ! 

While the mere victors may appall or stun 
The servile and the vain, such names will be 
A watchword till the future shall be free. 

Byron. 

192. — What I most prize in woman 
Is her affections, not her intellect ! 

The intellect is finite ; but the affections 
Are infinite, and cannot be exhausted. 

Compare me with the great men of the earth ; 

What am 1 ? Why, a pigmy among giants ! 

But if thou lovest, — mark me ! 1 say lovest, — 

The greatest of thy sex excels thee not ! 

The world of the affections is thy world, 

Not that of man’s ambit on. In that stillness 
Which most becomes a woman, cairn and holy, 

Thou sittest by the fireside of the heart, 

F eeding its flame. 

The Spanish Student. Longfellow. 


193. An idler is a watch that wants both hands ; 

As useless if it goes as when it stands. 

Retirement . Cowfer 

Bolingbroke ; afterwards King Henry 4th. 

194. Myself — a prince, by fortune of my birth ; 

Near to the king in blood, and near in love ; 

Till you did make him misinterpret me. — 

Have stooped my neck under your injuries, 

And sighed my English breath in foreign clouds, 

Eating the bitter bread of banishment : 

Whilst you have fed upon my signiories,

MNEMOTECHNY, OR 


Disparked my parks, and felled my forest woods; 

From my own windows torn my household coat, 

Razed out my impress, leaving me no sign, — 

Save men’s opinions, and my living blood, — 

To show the world I am a gentleman. 

King Richard 2nd — Act 3, Sc. 1 . Shakspeare. 

A Witty Comedy. 

195. Delay lends impotent and snail-paced beggary : 

Then fiery expedition be my wing.

Lies in their purses ; and whoso empties them, 

By so much fills their hearts with deadly hate. 

King Richard 2nd — Act 2, Sc. 2. Shakspeare. 

A Weighty Cannon. 


198. We should be pleased that things are so, 

Who do for nothing see the show. 

The Spleen . Green. 

199. Within this awful volume lies 
The mystery of mysteries, — 

Happiest they of human race, 

To whom their God has given grace 
To read, to hear, to hope, to pray, 

To lift, the latch — to force the way ; 

And better they had ne’er been born, 

Than read to doubt or read to scorn.

200. My task is done — my song hath ceased — my theme 
Has died into an echo ; it is (it 
Tile spell should break of this protracted dream. 

The torch shall be extinguish'd which hath lit 
My midnight lamp — and what is writ, is writ, — 

Would it were worthier! but I am not now 
That which I have been — and my visions flit 
Less palpably before me — and the glow 
Which in my spirit dwelt, is fluttering, faint, and low. 

Farewell ! a word that must be, and hath been — 

A sound which makes us linger ; — yet — farewell ! 

Ye! who have traced the Pilgrim to the scene 
Which is his last, if in your memories dwell 
A thought which once was his, if on ye swell 
A single recollection, not in vain 
He wore his sandal-shoon, and scallop-shell ; 

Farewell ! with him alone may rest the pain, 

If such there were — with you, the moral of his strain. 
Child t Harold — Canto 4, Stanza 185. Byron.

MNEMOTECHNY, OR 


GEEHALE— AN INDIAN LAMENT. 

BY HENRY R. SCHOOLCRAFT. 

1. The blackbird is singing on Michigan’s shore, 

2. As sweetly and gayly as ever before; 

3. For he knows to his mate he at pleasure can hie, 

4. And the dear little brood she is teaching to fly. 

5. The sun looks as ruddy, and rises as bright, 

6. And reflects o’er the mountains as beamy a light, 

7. As it ever reflected, or ever expressed, 

8. When my skies were the bluest, my dreams were the best. 

9. The fox and the panther, both beasts of the night, 

10. Retire to their dens on the gleaming of light, 

11. And they spring with a free and a sorrowless track, 

12. For they know that their mates are expecting them back 

1 3. Each bird and each beast, it is blest in degree : 

14. All nature is cheerful, all happy, but me. 

15. I will go to my tent, and lie down in despair; 

16. I will paint me with black, and will sever my hair; 

17. I will sit on the shore where the hurricane blows, 

18. And reveal to the god of the tempest my woes ; 

19. I will weep for a season, on bitterness fed, 

20. For my kindred are gone to the Kills of the dead : 


ART OP MEMORY.

21. But they died not by hunger, or lingering decay; 

22. The steel of the white man hath swept them away. 

23. This snake-skin, that once I so sacredly wore, 

24. I will toss, with disdain, to the storm-beaten shore ; 

25. Its charms I no longer obey or invoke, 

26. Its spirit hath left me, its spell is now broke. 

27. I will raise up my voice to the source of the light; 

28. I will dream on the wings of the bluebird at night; 

29. I will speak to the spirits that whisper in leaves, 

30. And that minister balm to the bosom that grieves ; 

31. And will take a new Manito — such as shall seem 

32. To be kind and propitious in every dream. 

33. O, then I shall banish these cankering sighs, 

34. And tears shall no longer gush salt from my eyes ; 

35. I shall wash from my face every cloud-colored stain ; 

36. Red — red shall alone on my visage remain ! 

37. I will dig up my hatchet, and bend my oak bow; 

38. By night and by day, I will follow the foe ; 

39. Nor lakes shall impede me, nor mountains, nor snows ; 

40. His blood can alone give my spirit repose. 

41. They came to my cabin when heaven was black; 

42. I heard not their coming, I knew not their track ; 

43. But I saw, by the light of their blazing fuzees, 

44. They were people engender’d beyond the big seas. 

45. My wife and my children — O spare me the tale! 

46. For who is there left that is kin to Geehale 1

INSTRUCTIONS FOR 

COMSTOCK’S PERFECT ALPHABET, 

AND THE 

PRONOUNCING INDEX. 

It is probably known to our readers, that attempts have 
been made during the hist fifteen years, both in the United 
States and Great Britain, to make A Perfect Alphabet of 
the English Language. That object has been happily ac- 
complished by Dr. Andrew Comstock, of Philadelphia. 
This Alphabet, which we give over the leaf (page *297), 
most undoubtedly comes nearer perfection , than any Alpha- 
bet ever printed in any language. It contains thirty-eight 
simple letters, and six compound ones, and by these letters 
every sound in the English Language is represented. The 
same characters invariably stand for the same sounds. 
Were these letters in universal use, spelling would be re- 
duced to perfect simplicity, since every word would be 
spelled just as it is pronounced. In other words, we could 
write correctly every word that we hear spoken, and pro- 
nounce every word that we see written, and that without 
the possibility of making a mistake. We have introduced 
a piece of composition in the new characters, on the page 
following the Alphabet. That piece is probably familiar to 
most readers, and if not, it can be read with considerable 
fluency after a quarter of an hour’s examination of the Al- 
phabet, in order to learn the sounds of the different letters. 
The primary object of introducing the Alphabet in this work, 
is for the purpose of giving the correct pronunciation to a 
large number of difficult, proper Names. We know of no 
way of giving the exact pronunciation of words, except 
through the medium of this Alphabet ; unless we make a 
series of characters of our own, or adopt some one of the 
numerous systems of marking letters by figures. The latter 


296 


NX'MQTRKNX, OR 


style used by most lexicographers, has no uniformity, and is 
every way exceedingly inconvenient. 

Many of the proper names in this work are very difficult to 
pronounce, and cause the student much inconvenience and 
embarrassment. As will be seen, the most difficult names 
and technical words have been arranged in alphabetical order 
in the Pronouncing Index, and their true pronunciation given 
in the new Alphabet. For the pronunciations, the best autho- 
rities have been followed. 

The different characters in the new Alphabet were not 
adopted by the author without due deliberation, and good 
reasons. For these reasons, the reader is referred to Dr. 
Comstock’s different publications, consisting, among others, 
of the “ Phonetic Reader,” the “ Phonetic Speaker,” the 
“ Phonetic New Testament,” and “ Comstock’s Phonetic 
Magazine,” issued monthly. To these works, the reader is 
earnestly and specially commended. The letters in the new 
Alphabet are called by different names, in most cases, from 
what they are in the old. Each vowel has the same name 
as the sound it represents. The names of the consonants are 
given below. They are all pronounced on the common basis 
of the letter e long, except the last three, which are compound 
letters. The reader cannot but notice the uniform pronunci- 
ation which these letters have with our articulations in Mne- 
motechnv. If this Alphabet were in use, Mnemotechny could 
be learned with one half the labor that we now devote to it.

A PERFECT ALPHABET OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. 

BY ANDREW COMSTOCK, M.D. 

Principal of the Vocal and Polyglott Gymnasium, Author of a System of 
Elocution, The Phonetic Reader, The Phonetic Speaker, &c., and Editor 
of The Phonetic Testament, and The Phonetic Magazine. 

Note. — In the following Table there is a character for each of the 38 elementary 
sounds of the English Language. For the sake of brevity, there are also 6 com- 
pound letters, each to be used, in particular instances, to represent two elementary 
sounds. The sound of each letter of the Alphabet is show'n by the italic character 
in the word opposite to the said letter c represents the sound of a as in ale, &.c.

ANECDOTES, HISTORICAL INCIDENTS, &o. 

Long Name. — A Dutch vessel having lost a number of 
hands in a gale at sea, a press-gang was sent ashore at the 
first landing, to obtain recruits. The requisite number 
being procured and brought on board, their names were 
asked, and registered in the ship’s books. The last man 
called, gave his name, as follows: 

Hadad, Hughdad, Pipe and Pin Hute and Brass; Nip 
Nop, and Pin Davis, Acco Yunahon, Con Tunken, Van 
Heuven Barrack ; John Milton, Tomishire, Belteshaz- 
zar, Shippio, Hendrick, Pentuder, Johnson, Compelton, 
Tilbro. 

“ Upon my soul,” says the scribe, throwing down his pen, 
“ I can not write it.” 

Latest News from the Pacific . — Uncle Sam’s War Steam- 
er, Blowumskyhigh, has taken prisoner the illustrious 
Poonoowingkeewangkeeflibeedeeflobeedeebuskeebang, 
the king of the Cannibal Islands. 


THE STUARTS. 

The last of the Stuarts died lately in obscurity. There 
never was a whole race so singularly unfortunate, during at 
least four hundred years. Robert III., King of Scotland, 
broke his heart, because his eldest son, Robert, was starved 
to death, and his youngest son made captive ; James I., was 
assassinated in a convent, near Perth ; James II., was killed 
by the bursting of a cannon ; James III., was thrown from 
his horse, and murdered in a cottage where he sought shel- 
ter; James IV., fell at the battle of Flodderj Field; James 
V., died of grief for the loss of his army ; Henry Stuart, 
Lord Dudley, was assassinated ; Mary Stuart, was be- 
headed ; Charles I., of England, was dethroned and exe- 
cuted ; Charles II., was exiled for many years ; James II., 
lost his crown ; Anne, died broken hearted ; and the pos- 
terity of James were wretched wanderers : all are now gone.

CONCLUSION. 


Reader, our book is through. We hope you have found 
in it, both amusement and instruction. We have endeav- 
ored to convey both. If we have not made many subjects 
easy of acquisition, which you have before found difficult, 
then we have missed our aim. The path up the Hill of 
Science and Literature, is not always smooth and agreeable, 
but it is the province of the Instructor, whether he conveys 
his ideas verbally, or through the medium of books, to strew 
the way with roses rather than with briers. This has been 
the object of our labors in Mnemotechny. We have little 
sympathy with those “ ungracious” teachers “who show the 
steep and thorny way to” Learning. We do not believe 
that difficult and torturing tasks, are necessary in obtaining 
an education. We have endeavored to open to all classes 
of learners, a new and agreeable road in Literary and 
Scientific research. The subjects and tables of information 
in the preceding pages, are believed to be of interest to 
nearly all reading and thinking persons ; and from our ex- 
perience in instructing as well as in learning, we have no 
hesitation in saying that we have given a way by which 
they can be easily committed to memory. The work may 
be a convenient book of reference. The object, however, 
of the publication, has been to give a variety of Historical, 
Biographical, Literary and Scientific information, of almost 
universal interest, and so connect it with our Art, as to 
make it of easy acquisition to every learner. How well 
we have succeeded, we leave the candid reader to judge.

INTRODUCTION. 


Every student of Mnemotechny must see the great con. 
venience of this Dictionary in a large number of Mnemo- 
technic applications. All who have perused the First Part 
of this work, or heard a course of lectures on the subject, 
have already anticipated the great advantage to be derived 
from a Dictionary of words arranged and classified accord- 
ing to the Principles of Mnemotechny. 

Part First of this work comprises a large number of His- 
torical, Biographical, Geographical, and other facts, with 
Mnemotechnic Formulas accompanying each Table ; all of 
which will be understood by examining them in connection 
with the accompanying “ Instructions.” The student will 
at once perceive the ease with which these facts can be 
learned and retained in the mind ; and the next thought is, 
how other facts and other subjects can be arranged, and 
Formulas constructed for them in a similar way. This 
Dictionary of words and names will be found an almost in. 
dispensable assistant in making these applications. 

The student observes, in the Formulas for the different 
facts in the First Part of the work, a word or sentence as a 
Mnemotechnic Phrase, which represents the figures that are 
connected with the fact ; and in all cases the Key-word, or 
Phrase, has some connection with the event or fact oom. 
memorated. After reading the Formulas for a number of 
Events or Statistics, all of which appear to be more or less 
striking, the student wishes to know how so many different 
words and phrases are obtained that stand for the correct 
number, and at the same time have so intimate a connection 
with the fact commemorated, In trying to make a few

INTRODUCTION. 


Formulas for subjects not found in the book, words appear 
to be scarce and hard to find, that represent the correct 
number. 

By turning to the pages of the Dictionary, all the English 
words in common use, together with the Proper Names from 
Dictionaries of Biography, Geography, Mythology, the 
Bible, etc., will be found arranged in Numerical order — • 
each word and name opposite the figure or number that it 
represents, and all that stand for one number being in Alpha- 
betical order. 

Now suppose we wish to commemorate (or mnemonize) 
the date that “ Tea was first brought to Europe from China f 
which was in the year 1601. We go to that number in the 
Dictionary, and, among others, find the word Tea-Chest, 
which is intimately connected with the subject. We are 
then enabled to make this Formula : 

Tea was first brought from China , in 
te, che, se, te. 1601. A Tea-Chest. 

We will try and find a word or phrase for the date that 
“ Canals in Modern Style were first Known in Europe ” — 
1481. We turn to that number, but find no word that suits 
us. Knowing that in Modern Dates, we can leave off the 
first figure (1) in the Formula, and supply it in the mind, 
we turn to 481, and there we see, among others, the word 
“ Raft,” which we use. 

Sometimes we will neither find a word that represents all 
of the figures, nor the first three, in dates of Modern 
events. In that case, we must combine words that will 
together stand for the Date. In the Date of the “ Discovery 
of the Mariner’s Compass ,” 1269, we neither find a striking 
word for the number 1269, nor for 269 ; but on turning to 
69, we find the word “ Ship,” which being so intimately 
connected with the Discovery, we adopt it ; and next seek 
for $ word that represents 12, or 2, and finding the adjective 

i 


INTRODUCTION. 


K. 


“ New” to be an appropriate word, we use the phrase 
“ New SHIP.’ , 

The Zero Words, or words that commence with a zero 
or cipher, in the First Part of the Dictionary, will be found 
of very great convenience in many Mnemotechnic applica- 
tions. For Formulas for Events in Ancient History, that 
are within a hundred years of the Christian Era, they are 
indispensable, as we use none but zero phrases for those 
dates. They are also used in many other cases. If we 
cannot get a good phrase among the other words, we fre- 
quently can among these. 

For instance — Handkerchiefs were first made at Paisley, 
in 1748. Now we find no good word for 1748, nor for 748 ; 
but in the department of Zero words we find, for 0748, the 
word “ Scarf,” which gives us a first rate Formula : 

Handkerchiefs were first made at Paisley, and were 

worn like A Scar! 

The Dictionary will also be of considerable use in finding 
Homophonic Analogies , or Rhymes, in constructing Formulas 
for Distinguished men, Geographical names, Scientific terms, 
Sentiments of Flowers, etc. Suppose we want a Homo- 
phonic word, or rhyme, for Box. We translate Box, which 
gives 970, and on turning to that number in the Dictionary, 
we see the word Books, which sounds much like the other. 
The learner will bear in mind, that the best Rhyme is not 
always the best Homophonic Analogy. Clocks is a better 
rhyme for Box than Books, but it is not as good a Homo- 
phonic phrase, for this reason : it does not commence with 
the same letter, which is quite essential. As a general 
rule, the Homophonic Analogy should commence with the 
same letter as the original word ; but that rule should some- 
times be departed from. 

The words and combinations of words that will represent 

Dates and Numbers, are almost endless ; and if a striking

INTRODUCTION. 


Formula is not made readily ; by persevering, and making a 
variety of combinations, a pretty good Formula can, in 
almost all instances, be made. The student will find, as a 
general rule, that Nouns make the best Mnemotechnic 
Phrases, where but one word is used ; and where two words 
are selected, the first one should, if possible, be an adjective, 
and the last a noun. Two nouns can frequently be used, 
and make a good Formula ; and sometimes two adjectives ; 
but verbs do not often make good Formulas. The best test 
to see whether a Formula is a good one, is to commit it to 
memory. If it is easily recalled, then of course it accom- 
plishes its object. If we repeatedly forget the same Form- 
ula, another can be made which will be more easily recol- 
lected. Many think, on a first view of the subject, that all 
can remember their own Formulas best. That, probably, 
is not the case. If a Formula is striking, and the facts 
brought into requisition in constructing the Formula are 
familiar to all, it can be learned and retained with ease. 

In constructing Formulas for statistics, the learner will do 
well to get all the facts on one subject, that require Formu- 
las, and make them all out at one time. In reading a His- 
torical or Scientific work, if the student stops to construct a 
Formula, every time a fact or statistic presents itself, much 
time will be lost in hunting up writing materials, and Dic- 
tionary ; but if each fact is marked, and, after getting 
through the work, all are disposed of at once, it will be 
found a more judicious expenditure of time. 

If Mnemotechny meets with that encouragement which 
its admirers generally expect, it will probably not be long 
before most of the standard statistics of Chemistry, Polifical 
Science, Law, Medicine, and Divinity, will be arranged and 
combined in Formulas, for the greater ease and benefit of 
the student ; as the most important statistics of History, 
Geography, and Astronomy, have been already.

We beg to draw the attention of our readers to the following hand- 
some acknowledgment of the merits of Mr. Miles as a lecturer on 
Mnemotecliny. presented to him by a committee of the class which he 
has taught since his arrival in Toronto. Mr. Miles has won golden 
opinions during his first visit, and we are sure he will be warmly re- 
ceived on the future occasion, at which he hints in his reply : 

To Mr. Pliny Miles, Lecturer on Mnemotechny: 

Sir, — We, the undersigned committee in behalf of the class who 
have had the advantage of attending your public lectures on Mnemo- 
techny in this city, cannot allow you to take your leave without ex- 
pressing our conviction that we have derived much benefit from your 
instructions, and also our thanks for the uniform kindness, with which 
those instructions have been communicated. We regard your system 
of Mnemotechny as likely to produce the most advantageous results, 
because it is constructed upon scientific principles, and is capable 
of the most extensive adaptation to the wishes and uses of ordinary 
life. We trust that we shall again have the pleasure of seeing you in 
Toronto, and, wishing you every success, in the meantime, we re- 
main, sir, Your obedient servants,

MNEMOT ECHNY. 

This subject, which has afforded topics of conversation and news- 
paper paragraphs, throughout the Union, for the last twelve months, 
is destined to a brighter and more enduring career, than the ephemeral 
subjects 

“ That strut and fret their hour upon the stage, 

And then are heard no more.” 

From the eclat of its introduction to the public in New York, last 
winter, and, not less from the virulence and abuse with which its 
author was assailed, we believed that an improvement of real prac- 
tical utility had been made. 

That individuals of some discernment can now and then be deceived, 
we have frequent demonstration: bvt when men of experience and 
standing, classical scholars of high attainments, and men of reputation 
all around us, continue to corroborate the first reports, we are forced to 
give credence to them. 

Professor Miles, who is now delivering his second course in this city, 
has been lecturing for the last eight months in the Western States, and 
with great success. He brings with him the most cordial recommen- 
dations from Presidents of Colleges, Attorneys at Law, M. D.'s, Editors 
of papers, Clergymen, and others, who unite in according to this 
SYSTEM A TRIUMPH OVER THE IMPERFECTIONS OF MEMORY THAT HAS 
NEVER BEFORE BEEN ATTAINED. 

Professor Miles has published a book of ninety-six closely print- 
ed octavo pages, containing 7,870 different questions of definitions, 
statistics, etc., the answers to some single questions involving, in some 
cases, over 300 different figures; all of which the compiler will recite 
in any order required, and which he says he has learned by this system 
of Memory, by devoting from half an hour to an hour to each page. 
The card in another column, gives the opinion of gentlemen known 
throughout the state. 


From the Fayetteville North Carolinian. 

Mnemotechnt. — We perceive that Professor Miles is in Raleigh, 
for the purpose of raising a class in Mnemotechny. He certainly de- 
serves great credit for his proficiency in the system, and his ready and 
easy manner of communicating it. Much may be learned, and very 
indelibly fixed upon the mind in this way, with comparatively very 
little study.

From the Rev. Cyrus Johnston, and the Rev. J. F. W. Freeman, Prin- 
cipals of the Female and Male Seminaries at Charlotte. 

Charlotte, N. C., June 18th. 1847. 

It gives me pleasure to say, that Prof. Pliny Miles has instructed 
a class of ladies in the Female Academy in this place, and has given a 
high degree of satisfaction. 

Having attended his lectures throughout, and having examined his 
books on the subject, it is my settled conviction, that by the Art of 
Mnemotechny, based upon the mental powers of combination and as- 
sociation, an ordinary memory may become most retentive, and an 
immense amount of information may be acquired. Prof. Miles pos- 
sesses a felicitous mode of instruction, and his demeanor before us has 
been in all respects courteous and gentlemanly. 

CYRUS JOHNSTON. 

Female Academy, Charlotte, N. C. 

To the above estimate of the Rev. C. Johnston, of both the Science 
of Mnemotechny, and also of Prof. Miles, as a Preceptor and a gentle- 
man, I cordially and most fully subscribe.

Report of a Committee , appointed by a Public Class in Raleigh, N. C., 
Hon. Kenneth Rayner, Chairman. 

Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 19th. 1847. 

We the undersigned, having been appointed a Committee, by a class 
that has just received a course of lectures on Mnemotechuy, by Prof. 
Pliny Miles, for the purpose of expressing the opinion of the class in 
regard to the same, do hereby state it as our conviction, that we have 
been usefully instructed, as well as agreeably entertained. 

The science of Mnemotechny, as taught by Professor Miles, we con- 
sider to be exceedingly simple in its elementary principles, and easily 
to be comprehended by the most ordinary minds; while, at the same 
time, it is very ingenious in its invention and amusing in its details. 
We think that, with a little application, it may be made very useful in 
aiding the natural memory, and especially in making the studies of 
history, geography, and statistics an agreeable occupation. In the re- 
collection of all facts at all dependent on figures, we consider it of great 
value. We believe, further, that its general dissemination will tend 
to impart information in a cheap, speedy, and pleasing manner. 

Owing to the kind and gentlemanly deportment of Professor Miles, 
his happy way of imparting information, and the favorable estimate 
we put on his instruction, we cheerfully recommend him to the confi- 
dence of the public.

Mr. Pliny Miles has given to a class of my pupils a course of Lec-

It will be of great advantage in several branches of study. 

I think the learning of it has been a very profitable exercise, and 
well worth the money and labor bestowed upon it.

Proceedings of a Meeting of three Classes in Lexington, Va. 

At a meeting of the ladies and gentlemen who had attended the 
lectures of Pliny Miles, Esq., Professor of Mnemotechny, held in the 
lecture room of the Presbyterian Church, Lexington, Va., on Saturday, 
the 27th. of September, 1845 : 

The Rev. Prof. Philo Calhoun having been called to the Chair, and 
Wm. H. Rubber, Esq., A. M., appointed Secretary — 

The following resolution was moved by the Rev. John Skinner, 
D. D., Fastorof the Presb. Church, seconded by Edward J. Caruthers, 
Esq., Principal of the Ann Smith Ladies’ Academy, and unanimously 
adopted : 

“ That having attended a course of six lectures, delivered by Prof. 
Pliny Milks, expository of the Art of Mnemotechny, as taught by 
him, and having at the same time devoted some study to the subject, 
we are satisfied that he has faithfully redeemed the pledges which he 
gave in his public introductory lecture, and do give it as our opinion, 
that the principles of the art are simple and of easy apprehension ; that 
they are susceptible of being applied with advantage to the acquisition 
of much valuable and useful information, especially facts, names, dates, 
and figures ; and that the time and labor expended on their practical 
application to these various subjects, will meet with an ample reward, 
not only in the general improvement of the mind itself, but also in the 
sure preservation and ready use of those intellectual treasures, which, 
by the aid of the Muemotechnic Art, have been once acquired.”

MNEMOTECHNY. 

I take pleasure in saying, that in my opinion, this system is capable 
of imparting to those who do it justice, a vast facility in acquiring know- 
ledge of any kind, and of retaining it for an indefinite period of time, 
in a manner, and with a certainty, utterly impracticable in any other 
way. I take pleasure in recommending Mr. Miles to the attention of 
the community, as a gentleman who will afford them both pleasure and 
profit in the delivery of his lectures.

Mnemotkchny. — I believe this the greatest discovery in literature 
that the present age has seen. Every thing about it shows the work 
of a master mind, and exhibits a versatility of mental power far beyond 
any thing of the kind I have ever met. Nothing short of a wonderful 
mind could have developed any thing at once so useful, ingenious, and 
beautiful. Its discoverer brings with him letters of the strongest char- 
acter, from a multitude of the most eminent minds in the United States ; 
men who confess the deepest obligations to him for his Mnemotechnic 
science. Nothing approaching its powers for perfecting human know- 
ledge is to be found in human records ; and all who apply themselves 
to it, will look on this discovery as one of the greatest of human ben- 
efits. 

As a parent, and as a student, I would not be deprived of the bene- 
fits of this system for five thousand dollars. It has benefits in it that 
mankind should be induced to enjoy.

Mnemotechny.— We beg to call attention to Professor Miles’ adver- 
tisement in another column, in which he handsomely announces his 
intention of giving this evening, at Armory Hall, a free Lecture, pre- 
liminary to his course of a series of six, on the Art of improving the 
Memory. We can hardly say too much on the advantages to be de- 
rived from cultivating the faculty of Memory. The Ancients very 
poetically and truly attributed all knowledge to this attribute of man ; 
making the nine Muses, (or the whole circle of the Arts and Sciences, 
over which they presided,) the offspring of Mnemosyne, the goddess 
of Memory.

fully convinced of the practical utility of the science; especially in its 
application to chronology. By this system I have been enabled to learn 
tu a few minutes what I could not have acquired in as many hours (if 
at all) by the natural memory alone — I mean dates of important events, 
&o From the earnest solicitation of the members of the class. I have 
determined to give regular instruction in this branch. Mr. Miles is 
considered a perfect gentleman, and highly qualified to impart infor-

Resolutions of a Class in Nashville, Tenn. 

Resolved, That the system of Mnernotechuy as taught by Professor 
Milks, is substantially what Vie represents it to be. 

Resolved, That the system will yield a better return for the labor 
bestowed on it, than any other science with which we are acquainted. 

Resolved, That we are gratified to bear this testimony to the ability 
and diligence with which Professor Miles instructs his classes ; aud we 
trust that his success in other communities may be commensurate with 
his talents and deportment, and the importance of the science which 
he teaches.

From the Rev. A. B. Longstrkkt, LL. I)., President of Emory Col-

Mr. Pliny Miles has been lecturing for rather more than a week in 
this place upon the Science of Muemoteclmy, anil I believe bis Lec- 
tures have given general satisfaction to those who have attended them. 
I have been made acquainted with the outlines of his System. The 
peculiar advantages of it are — 

1st. That it enables the learner to retain a vast amount of important 
information which he could not retain at all without it. 

2nd. To make permanent much useful information, which, though 
attainable without, it, is soon forgotten. 

Mr. Miles’ own exhibition of its powers is the best commentary upon 
it. I give him this testimonial unsolicited, for the double purpose of 
encouraging him and of bringing into general notice the Science of 
Muemoteclmy. 

From a very brief acquaintance with Mr. M., I judge him to be a 
man of a high order of talent, and I take pleasure in testifying to his 
gentlemanly demeanor and courteous manners while he tarried with us 
in Oxford. A. B. LONGSTREET.

Notice of Miles' System of Mnemotechny, front- the New York Columbi- 


an Magazine. 


There is no romance in this. It is simply suggestive of an intellect- 
ual savings’ bank, with this peculiar advantage, that deposits may bo 
always evoked at will, and the principal, however often drawn out and 
applied, only becomes more inexhaustible by use. We learn from the 
introduction that the present System took its rise in a German intellect 
in 1807, and in 1844, was promulgated by Gouraud in the United 
States. An analytical exposition of the theory would be virtually a 
summary of the book itself. Suffice it to say the discipline of the mem- 
ory is proposed to be accomplished by the aid of systematic associ- 
ations, in whose toils gems of art, literature and science are to be gar- 
nered, as the glittering dew-drops are entangled and detained amid the 
meshes of Arachne. The vital question that presents itself in relation 
to the theory is simply this — are its suggestions practicable 1 That the 
memory is capable of such a discipline as it prescribes, is placed beyond 
a doubt. The experiment has been made repeatedly with entire suc- 
cess. That it has been essayed and subsequently abandoned, by the 
impatient aud inert, is no impeachment of its wisdom or utility. The 
admirable Crichton distanced all his competitors in knowledge, by the 
capacity and promptness of a memory that never lost a thought con 
fided to its keeping. Who will not endeavor to become a Crichton, if 
ho can accomplish *such a transformation by the acquirement of a few 
conventional terms? We commend the enterprise strenuously to our 
youthful friends, and assure them that if they will do the system 
justice, it will redeem every pledge it makes to their incalculable 
benefit. — Columbian Magazine for May , 1848.

From Mrs. Henriques, Principal of a Female Academy , in Lynchburg, 

Virginia. 

Suffering myself from the inconvenience of a naturally weak memory, 
I joined the Class instructed by Mr. Miles in my school, though with 
very little hope of being materially benefited ; but to my great satis- 
faction I can with truth declare, that both myself and all those of his 
Class who listened to his Lectures with due attention and applied 
themselves, are convinced that his instruction will prove of lasting 
utility to them, in nearly every branch of school instruction, particu- 
larly where numbers are to be remembered : such as Chronology, 
Statistics, Latitudes and Longitudes, the combining numbers in 
Chemistry, (specific gravity ;) the distances, diameters, times of 
revolutions, etc., in Astronomy ; and very probably classes, genera, 
etc., in Botany, which all draw so heavily on the memory. I intend 
to prepare my pupils to study all lessons of such nature by means of 
the rules of this Science, that if properly applied, must prove a true 
and omnipresent prompter , whose assistance will never be punished 
with a bad mark. MARIA HENRIQUES,

Report of a Class in Savannah , Geo. 


Mr. Pliny Milks, Professor of Mnemotechny, etc. 

Sir, — At a regular meeting of your class of ladies and gentlemen, in 
the city of Savannah, it was unanimously 

Resolved, That a committee of five members be appointed to 
express their views of the Science of Mnemotechny. This resolution 
affords them au opportunity of expressing their thanks to you, and 
their entire satisfaction with regard to the Science, as taught by you 
on philosophical principles. We have attained a confidence in the 
Science, and to rational men this faith seems to be well founded, when 
we remember with what capacity and accuracy we can describe 
intricate and minute facts, in making application of the general prin- 
ciples which we affirm ourselves to comprehend and confide in. This 
Science is applicable to History, Geography, Chemistry, Astronomy, 
Statistical and Political facts, and to all important subjects which 
require the exercise of the memory. This Science, as do all others, 
requires application, and should be introduced into schools under 
proper directions. 

With our best wishes for your success in your profession, 

We remain, dear sir, yours, most respectfully

From Wm. White, Esq., Postmaster at Raleigh, North Carolina. 

. Post Office, Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 18th. 1818. 

My Dear Sir, — I am glad to learn from the Wilmington “ Com 
mercial,” that you have once more arrived in North Carolina. I am 
glad, for two reasons: I shall, I presume, have the pleasure of seeing 
you soon in Raleigh ; and for the further reason, that our citizens will 
have an opportunity of profiting by the valuable Science of Miiemo- 
techny, which you so successfully teach. I have found it to myself 
very useful, and you know I did not devote myself fully to it during 
your Lectures. To my son, Stuart, # it is very valuable. He fre- 
quently makes it applicable in getting his lessons at school — for 
instance, he memorized all his Latin rules by Mnemotechny, and that 
to a perfection which could not have been done in any other way. 
There is, I believe, more than eighty of them, and it is no easy matter 
for any person to retain all the numbers from one to eighty, and apply 
it to the right rule, by the natural memory. I learn, that, in your 
new publication, you have enlarged and improved on the Science. 

I remain, very respectfully, your friend and obedient serv’t, 

WM. WHITE. 


At a meeting of the Class attending the Lectures on Mnemotechny 
by Prof. Pliny Miles, in the city of Louisville, Prof. J. H. Harney ( 
President of Louisville College, was elected Chairman, and Mr. Otis 
Patten, Secretary. The following resolutions were passed by the 
ananimous vote of the Class : 

Resolved, That we consider the system of Mnemotechny taught by 
Professor Miles, a most beautiful, ingenious, and useful System of 
Artificial Memory, and that its value and importance can hardly be 
overrated. 

Resolved, That while, in our opinion, persons of all ages may be 
greatly benefited by the system, we consider it especially adapted to 
produce very important and beneficial results in the education of the 
young. 

Resolved, That Professor Miles has fulfilled in good faith, and to our 
entire satisfaction, all the pledges he gave in his Introductory Lecture

From Mr. Jefferson M. Lovejoy, Principal of the Raleigh Classical and 
Military Academy. 

Mr. Milks has delivered a course of Lectures in my Academy, and 
has accomplished all that he promised. Muemotechny is the best 
method which has ever appeared for the improvement of the Memory 
It is not an artificial system, which all writers upon mental science 
pronounce worthies^ but its principles are deduced from the associa 
tion of ideas, and the faculty of attention, upon which depends the 
natural memory. That this position is true, no one can doubt who has 
studied it. For similar sounds and images are the two prominent 
causes which produce that mental action called association of ideas 
Aud this system associates the sounds of words which are in daily use 
with those of others, which, being confined to works of science, are 
seldom heard. By this means it gives to the mind a wonderful power 
to acquire and retain information in every department of knowledge 
Again, pleasing impressions, because they fix the attention, are the 
most lasting. Muemotechny fixes the attention, because it pleases the 
mind by presenting new resources of information, aud giving to it 
power and confidence. In a word, the science which Prof. Milks 
teaches, is well worthy the attention of an enlightened public. The 
happy manner of Mr. M. in imparting it, makes its acquisition agree* 
ble and easy. J. M. LOVEJOY.

From N. H. Stewart, Esq., Principal of the Male and Female Acad- 
emy at Quincy, Fla. 

Quincy, Feb. 12th. 1847. 

A practical application of the subject, and a rigid investigation of its 
principles have forced upon my mind the irresistible conviction that it 
is one of the most ingenious and useful inventions of modern times, and 
is destined ere long to become a prominent branch of study in our 
schools, colleges and academies. Its principles are so plain and sim- 
ple, that individuals of the humblest capacities, if capable of reading 
fluently, may in a short time acquire proficiency in it. 

I know of no department of science by which so much valuable 
and useful knowledge may be acquired aud retained, with so little 
exertion, as by the aid of Mnemotechny. 

I sincerely wish both the Professor and the Science all the success 
and eclat which their respective merits so eminently deserve.

Hon. John C. Calhoun. 

Columbus, Geo., April 13th. 1847. 

Deau Sir, — Allow me to introduce to your acquaintance, Professor 
Pliny Miles, a native of New York, who has been residing fur several 
years in the Southern country. Prof. Miles is a Lecturer on Mnemo- 
techny, or Art of Memory, and as a man of science has a deservedly 
high reputation. He has received encomiums from many of the most 
distinguished sources in this country, and in Europe, respecting his 
extraordinary attainments and abilities as a scientific Lecturer, and a 
culiivator of tfye much complained of and neglected faculty of Memory. 

You have only to hear him lecture, to be fully convinced of all that 
is said in his favor. Mr. Miles has resided for some time in Columbus, 
and is well known throughout the United jStates. Every reliance 
can be placed on him as a man of honor, and a gentleman in every 
sense of the term, and for which I will most unhesitatingly vouch. I 
introduce him to you, not as a passing acquaintance, but as a personal 
friend, and a gentleman whom I well know, and will consider all 
attentions and favors shown him as a personal favor. 

Yours, most truly, 

E. L. de. GRAFFENRIED.

From J. M. Daniel , Esq., Principal of Columbia (S. C.) Male 
Academy. 

Columbia, S. C., June 19th. 1845. 

Professor Miles has delivered a course of lectures on Mnemotechny 
to a class in the Academy of which I have charge. I deem it due not 
only to the worth of the system, but also to himself as an instructor, to 
add to the many he already possesses, my testimonial of the value of 
his instruction, and of the zeal and enthusiasm with which he teaches. 
From the readiness with which a knowledge of the Art may be 
obtained, from the certainty of its results, from its applicability, in its 
plastic forms, to almost every department of learning, but more espe- 
cially to Chronology, Geography, (including latitudes and longitudes, 
so sadly neglected, and on which all accurate geographical knowledge 
so essentially depends,) Astronomy, and Statistics generally, I am 
persuaded its importance cannot well be overrated ; nor can 1 see any 
difficulty in making it a part of elementary education, and bringing it 
into successful use in academic instruction.

Mr. Pliny Miles, Professor of Mnemotechny : 

Sir, — At a meeting of our class, the undersigned were appointed a 
committee to return you the sincere thanks of the students of this In- 
stitution, who have had the pleasure of attending your course of lec- 
tures on Mnemotechny, for the agreeable manner in which you have 
given instruction, and the valuable information which we have derived 
therefrom. 

It is with a strong feeling of confidence in its superiority, that we 
would recommend to the public this system of aiding the natural mem- 
ory, particularly on the ground of its usefulness to those engaged in the 
profession of teaching, it being in many respects applicable to the 
acquisition and retension of much valuable information, like Chro 
nology, Latitudes and Longitudes, Statistics of various kinds, etc., etc. 

Taking into consideration its value as a means of affording great 
assistance to the teacher and the scholar, we feel persuaded that its 
importance can not easily be overrated, and that it will eventually 
form an essential portion of elementary instruction.

impressed was I of its utility and usefulness, that I had actually com- 
pleted some four or five hundred formulas of the Histories of England
